Add information to my home page wallpaper

I would like to put contact information on my home page so that anyone that finds my phone (if I loose it) can call my home landline and tell me how to retrieve the phone. How do I add such info to my home page?

The easiest way is to compose the message in some text app (Pages or Notes, for example), take a screenshot of it, then make that your lock screen wallpaper.


Also, note that if your phone is lost you can put it into Lost Mode, and display a message on the screen→Use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item - Apple Support, so you may not need to put this on your lock screen ahead of it being list.

paperbruce ~ The following custom shortcut will create a JPEG from the contact text you've defined in the shortcut. Tap this iCloud link to add the shortcut to your library:


Create Lock Screen


• Tapping that link should show a blue +Add Shortcut button at the bottom.

• Tap it and the Create Lock Screen icon will appear in the Shortcuts app.

• Tap the circle containing three dots and edit the 🟨 Text action.

• Tap Done at upper right.

• Tap the middle of the icon to create & put your Lock Screen image in Photos > Recents album.

• Then use that image to Personalize your iPhone Lock Screen
