Why doesn't live wallpaper actually animate?

I see no animation on lock screen or home screen (or any screen for that matter) when live wallpaper is set.


In the settings Settings > Wallpaper> Choose a new wallpaper > Live the preview works fine but if a live wallpaper is set to both it doesn't animate. The same issue was happening on my old phone under iOS 11 and 12 so I thought it was something specific to the phone but after upgrading this issue still remains.

Do you have an iPhone 6S or newer?

You need to do the 3D Touch for the Live wallpaper.
