Iām using iPhone X, iOS 12. No problem following change wallpaper directions but still canāt get Live or Perspective to animate. (reduce motion & power saver ARE NOT on). Thank you in advance for any assistance.

"When I SET it on Live nothing happened on the actual Home screen..."
Hi Jenn! Live wallpapers will only animate on the lock screen, not the home screen...this is normal iOS 12 behaviour, so there's nothing wrong with your iPhone X as far as I can see! Hope this helps you! Regards, Ian.

When I SET it on Perspective, nothing happened on Wallpaper preview ALSO nothing animated as phone was rotated.
When I SET it on Live nothing happened on the actual Home screen but in Wallpaper preview it did animate when screen was pressed firmly.
Also I did reboot the phone after each setting attempt.
So bottom line is, on Wallpaper preview::
Live worked but no action on Perspective.
On actual settings :
Live no longer animates & Perspective still did nothing on rotation.
Thanks, Jenn
Hi Jenn! You're welcome, glad itĀ“s sorted out for you! š
"I guess I expected it to animate on its own anytime the Lock Screen was visible..."
That's exactly what I thought when live wallpapers (and Live Photos, for that matter!) first came out, so you're not the only one! Cheers, Ian.

Oops, Ian, sorry. Didn't see your reply in time.

No worries, Giulio, please, it happens to me a lot because I'm a dreadful typer and have to spend time correcting my typos! š Regards, Ian.
Thank you so much for your help, you were definitely headed to the correct answer too. I sincerely appreciate your time in sharing your knowledge.
Jenn
You're most welcome, Jenn.

Thank you for the Lock Screen information. I changed & applied a Live wallpaper to my Lock Screen, rebooted, and it was still not animating so I pressed firmly on the wallpaper on the iPhone Lock Screen & bam š„ weāve got animation.
I guess I expected it to animate on its own anytime the Lock Screen was visible but obviously you still have to press on the wallpaper to see it animate for a quick little animation. They probably do this so it doesnāt consume the battery.
Thank you for taking the time to lead me through my issue šš
Jenn
For live photos: press hard your screen
For Perspective: tilt (or rotate) your screen
What happens when you try?
