Live wallpapers

I used to have a live wallpaper but now it’s a still photo. Did apple do away with live wallpapers & or will they return? Hope they bring this feature back if they did do away with them.

This pic below is self-explanatory. This will allow you to select Live Photos for Lock Screen Wallpaper but the effect of Live Photos may not be attainable.


To use Live Photos you need to touch and hold a Live Photo but in iOS 16 and above the Touch and Hold in the Lock screen will go into customise wallpaper mode.
