You could use an image editor to save it as a picture, sync that to your device, then make that picture the wallpaper for the device.


Change the wallpaper on your iPhone --> https://support.apple.com/HT200285


Note, if you actually lose the device and have it set to use Find My to help recover it, you can set Lost Mode and:


"Follow the onscreen steps if you want your phone number to display on your missing device, or if you want to enter a custom message asking the finder of your missing device to contact you."
