I usually use my own photos for wallpaper, but while looking around in settings, I found live wallpapers to set as my home and lock screens.
So, I set one for both, but there is no animation. I can test the animation when I select the walllaper, and it does indeed move( but only for a second or so)
Is it supposed to move when viewing the lock and home screen? Seems a waste of time if it doesn’t.
Live Wallpaper is somewhat of a misname. They don't move on their own. They only move when you push on them. It's likely a battery saving option, so your screen animation isn't constantly using energy. To me, they're kind of worthless, but that's how they work.

You can animate "live photos" used as wallpaper on lock screen (only if your iphone has the "3d touch" feature, models 6s or later).
To animate your live photo, you have to press deeply on the screen.

I found that too. On the lock screen, I touch the screen and the image animates for about 3 seconds, when I remove my finger, the screen rewinds for 3 seconds. Hardly live wallpaper more a mini animation that requires user input to activate and something that I won’t be using
The Dynamic wallpapers move on both the home and lock screens, but they aren’t very interesting
Back to my photos!
No, they are activated when you press on the screen...
It a 3D touch gesture.

Same here. It does NOT animate on its own nor when I touch.
Two follow-up questions to this topic:
1) Does the animation only work on the "lock" screen? If so, why is it an option to use it for the "home" screen if it isn't actually live? Doesn't make much sense.
2) If it does apply to the "home" screen as well, how do I get the animation? I hold down on the screen, and nothing happens.
I've reviewed the questions and your reply. I placed the "live" wallpaper on the lock screen, where it is supposed to work and the screen where you can select one of the three "live" screens. And it does animate while at the store, but when I test it at home, both on a locked screen or when choosing a "live" image, (using one finger, or more) the screen does not animate.
I believe the others were trying to state the same issue, but your answer to their reply did not answer the question. Why, when used as instructed, does the screen not animate and how to fix? The phone is not on low power, which is one of the items mentioned as to why it would not work.
