Hello Random-user-2738,


We understand that you're having trouble with your live wallpaper on your iPhone. Is live wallpaper failing to animate or was it not setting up at all? If not animating, let us know what screens this is occurring on.


Be sure that your iPhone is fully up to date as well: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Here's some general info, including requirements: Change the wallpaper on your iPhone


Thanks!

Understood Random-user-2738,


To confirm, you have an iPhone X as opposed to an iPhone XR, correct? We want to ask since the iPhone XR doesn't support live wallpapers.


If you just have an iPhone X, then what we would recommend is that you Contact Apple Support as you already completed several troubleshooting steps that we'd also recommend.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!
