Live Photo Wallpaper Motion Not Supported After iOS 18.4.1 Update

After updating my iPhone to iOS 18.4.1, I’ve encountered an issue where a previously functional Live Photo wallpaper no longer supports motion. The error message displayed is: “Motion Not Available — Motion from this Live Photo is not supported as a wallpaper.”

This Live Photo was working perfectly as my lock screen wallpaper prior to the update, and it holds significant personal value to me.

Can't install live wallpaper in iPhone 12 mini iPhone 12 mini, IOS version is the latest possible 1.18.2, every live photo that I find from the most different sources is not suitable for installing live wallpaper. I don't quite understand what the reason is, I'm trying to use a photo taken with a camera - failure, I'm trying to use a photo downloaded from tik tok - failure. Has anyone encountered a similar problem and has a solution been found? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
