Because The iPhone SE has no 3D touch, which is available on the iPhone 6s and up. On the iPhone SE, you have to hold the photo to have the live photo feature, and they probably don't have live wallpapers for the SE either because:


a) Apple thought it was unreasonable, since you just hold on your screen.


b) Apple might possibly add it in later firmwares.


Hope that answers your question! ^-^

I Know what you mean, but it makes no sense.

I can view them, so why disallow using them as a wallpaper? It's a software toggle at the end of the day that Apple devs have either mistakenly excluded or have purposfully restricted.


The SE is the 6S in the 5 shell. The only real diff is the lack of 3D Touch.
