iPhone XS and ios16 Astronomy Screenpage

Hi,

I really like the Astronomy screenpage for ios16, but I was wondering if it's possible to set this up so the moon shows at night and the earth during the day, please?


I can see how toset these changes for my own photograph library, but was hoing to achieve this with the Astronomy wallpaper.


Thanks

Hello Nightowl4933,


While that may not be an automatic option for the Astronomy wallpapers, you may alternatively link a particular wallpaper to a particular Focus, such as the one of the Moon ones. Then, you can choose to set that Focus to automatically for a set time period, and this will automatically switch the Lock Screen to the specified wallpaper for that timeframe.

Link a Focus to your Lock Screen

Focus helps you concentrate on a task by minimizing notifications, or distractions. You can set up a Focus to temporarily silence all notifications, or allow only specific notifications (ones that apply to your task, for example). By linking a Focus to your Lock Screen, you have access to the features of the Focus when you use that Lock Screen.
1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen until the Customize button appears at the bottom of the screen.
If the Customize button doesn’t appear, touch and hold the Lock Screen again, then enter your passcode.
2. Tap Focus near the bottom of the wallpaper to see the Focus options—for example, Do Not Disturb, Personal, Sleep, and Work.
3. Select a Focus, then tap the Close button.

See Set up a Focus.

Cheers.
