Q: Live photo not working on lock screen!

just yesterday I updated my iPhone 6s Plus to the latest firmware. And today I wanted to change my picture on my lock screen but it did not give me the option to make it live photo or even perspective. I'm just making this aware to everyone so this can get fixed ASAP!

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.2.1

    Hi Baturtle,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your iPhone after a recent update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing; what happens or what do you see when you follow the process outlined in the User Guide?

     

    Play a Live Photo on the Lock screen. Go to Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper. Tap Live, then choose a Live Photo or choose one of your own Live Photos (under Photos). Tap Set, then tap Set Lock Screen. When on the Lock screen, press to play the Live Photo. See Use Live Photos.

     

    Change the wallpaper - iPhone

    Change your iPhone wallpaper - Apple Support

     

    Regards

    Hi,

     

    same problem here for me, i can not use live photos (made by my self with iphone cam) for the background, i can use the photo, but i dont have the the option for live-photo. It is just not there. When i am using live-photos from the apple folder live with preset pictures its working.

     

    This seems to be a bug!

     

    I am on 9.2.1 with 6s 64GB White with the TSMC A9.
