Change back to previous wallpaper

My friends thought it would be funny to hack into my iPhone and change the wallpaper to a picture of them. Only problem is I can't change it back- the original wallpaper is nowhere to be found on my phone!


I had saved it on my work computer, but that crashed so now I don't know where to go to restore the original wallpaper.


Please help!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5)

Under Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > Choose a New Wallpaper, there is a section called "Apple wallpapers." This contains all wallpapers that originally came with the phone.


If you're talking about some image that you downloaded then you can't change the wallpaper to it without redownloading it. If you have no way to redownload it (if your only copy was on the crashed computer - I'm guessing it was a PC 😉 - and it's not on the Internet) then you won't be able to change the wallpaper to it.
