Can I make Live Photo as my Lock Screen wallpaper

I want to make a Live Photo as my Lock Screen wallpaper, but every time i hold the screen down to play it, it only ever takes me to the customization screen. Is there a way to fix that?

Hello averie210,


The Live Photo wallpaper only plays when the screen is tapped or raised to wake it. Also, check that these settings are enabled and that you have followed these steps:


Set a Live Photo as your Lock Screen wallpaper on your iPhone - Apple Support


  • After clicking the "+" button to add a new wallpaper, select Live Photo in the top row
  • Select the Live Photo you want to use
  • As long as the small play button in the lower left is on, the Live Photo wallpaper will move when your iPhone screen turns on


I hope this helps.


Have a nice evening.
