Can’t set live wallpaper on iPhone SE

Hello,

So I did a bit of research on this issue, the fact is that 3D touch is a layer of the display that reveals the strong pressure imposed by the user while Haptic touch only detects a prolonged user touch.

But anyway in the past this function of the live wallpaper worked, so this is not the difference, I will try to update to iOS 14.1 (iPhoneOS 14.1 because in a while it will change its name 😐 in theory) and let you know.

But the hypotheses of the fact of the removal of the live wallpaper can be: the battery but there is nothing connected to the battery in this case, or certain bugs for the detection of the user's accentuated and prolonged pressure.

The second hypothesis is the best if you think about it because maybe your phone gets wet and Haptic touch detects that you are making a long press and starts the live wallpaper without your will, this in 3D touch does not happen because you are the one to impress the force. and for as long as you like.

To clarify the Hatpic touch is a software thing therefore more difficult to control than the 3D touch which is a layer of the display.

however, in my opinion this was the reason for removing this feature even if it seems a bit of a crap from this point of view 😑.

I just updated to iOS 14.1, the Live Wallpapers are not there yet (even if I don't care) but more than anything else the iPhone looks like ****.

Let me explain to you sometimes it crashes or it goes off in moments when it did not do it before it is bad I'm not kidding it literally sucks, don't do it if you have time.

Further to my question above (new Apple ID so different username), I haven’t received a response, so the answer I was provided previously I don’t think is valid. I think the reason is actually because both SE generations and the XR are not flagship models unlike the other phones so Apple is “punishing” people who don’t buy a flagship. I think it’s very petty and it’s hacked off a lot of people!

Hello,

This was my own reasoning and in my opinion it is the only logical explanation 😑, also because it supported it before.

Either Apple decides to put live wallpapers or some application will do it in its place or someone will JB 🙃, you decide Apple.

I really don't thin they are no logical explanation, if even the iPhone 6/6s had Live Wallpaper it really doesn't make sense that the SE 2020 don't have the option to have live wallpaper.

My former comment is deleted because I said truth about those illogical stuff that Apple is doing right now.

It's not about being logical, it's about being hungry for more money, even if you must do really not smart choices and illogical stuff

So just so it’s clear, I had recently gotten the iPhone SE 2020 and at first was able to use Live Wallpapers, but after awhile it just stopped working, my phone is currently on the latest update and the live wallpapers option is still not available. I don’t know when they will fix this but it does have the ability to use Live Wallpaper.

Hello,

So first of all I noticed that even the iPhone 12 do not have the 3D touch but rather the Haptic Enigne this means that they cannot use the live wallpapers, but they have them ..... wait what?

I mean you want to tell me that they can only because they cost more? then if it were a talk of drums, but what do I care if it lasts me 1 hour less, then the battery is the same as an iPhone 8 which still has the possibility of live wallpapers.

So this thread has to go up to the top and get to the developers let's hear it, iPhone SE 2nd sold a lot between 12 and 14 million copies in the second quarter alone you did a great action but don't fall as you did like with the battery issue years ago 🤬.

Best regards

Hello,

Could you get help from a specialized Apple consultant who gives clear answers?

Question:

Why iPhone SE 2nd which has all the features like an iphone 11 which supports live wallpapers and doesn't have them?

Why does the iPhone 12 also have Haptic Engine and it supports live wallpapers?

I hope they give answers if not we will reopen a new thread.

Kindest regards Nicola Garatti.

Bro, that does not answer his question. I too have the iPhone SE (2020, duh). No Live Photo support for lock screen at all. None.

My gf has a 6+ and it supports Live Photos as the lock screen and I’m positive her phone does NOT have Face ID. If you don’t know the answer to the question, just say so instead of giving vague (and incorrect) answers.

Apple has already written the code for live wallpaper using haptic touch. They have released it for the Iphone 11, the Iphone 11 has the same processor as the SE (2). Therefore meaning the Iphone SE (2) should be able to process and function properly whilst using a live wallpaper.

so far my se has been good but not brilliant with no live wallpaper which can easily be made accessible and i have emojis missing from my keyboard??!! also it is every wrong that they are not sold with even a plug anymore! i am very disappointed, as i am sure many people are

I switched from an iPhone 8 plus to iPhone SE 2020. I had live wallpaper in 8 Plus which got transferred by quick start. Whenever i tap and hold the screen, live wallpaper runs. It is for sure supported by iPhone SE but is not available in wallpaper settings.

That document only references Iphone SE 1 and 2 and does not address iphone se 3. My daughter is quite disappointed to see this was left out for the iPhone SE 3 as she upgraded to this from an iphone 7 and thought that since the official Apple support document did not include it in the model list exempted that it would be able to use it. Seems like a very petty business decision when the phone still costs $670 CDN to not enable that option. If the iPhone 6 can do it.....

That is correct. There is no such thing as an iPhone SE 3.

The first generation iPhone SE was released by Apple in 2016 and discontinued in 2018. The second generation iPhone SE was introduced by Apple in 2020 and is still being sold.

Why does apple not allow live wallpapers on the iPhone SE 2020 can somebody pls tell me

OK.

The iPhone SE is Apple’s most affordable iPhone. “Most affordable” means some non-essential features present in more costly models are not available on this model.

Enjoy your iPhone.
