The "Green Dot on Earth" wallpaper from the Astronomy category on iPhone typically appears as part of the built-in wallpaper options, showing a live image of Earth with a green dot representing your location.


If it's not appearing for you, here are a few potential reasons and fixes:

  1. Location Services: Make sure that Location Services are enabled on your iPhone. You can check this by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and ensuring it's turned on.
  2. Internet Connection: The Earth wallpaper relies on a live map, so it may require an active internet connection. Ensure you have a good Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
  3. Restart the Device: A simple restart of your iPhone might resolve any temporary glitches affecting the wallpaper.
