Live animated wallpaper (lockscreen)

The live wallpaper for my lock-screen isn’t working even when I long press. I disabled reduce motion and low power mode. I restarted my iPhone several times. Nothing. The live screens works in the preview and the pull down notification screen, but just not on lock-screen. Any help? I have iPhone 12promax.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Force Restart your iPhone and see if that fixes this.


Press and quickly release volume up button

Them immediately press and quickly release volume down button

Then immediately press and keep holding the side power button (keep holding past the swipe to power offf) until the screen goes black and keep holding until the Apple Logo appears, then let go.


Sign back in and see if you can use a live photo for your lock screen.
