In fact, there’s a glimmer of hope in this area. It would be really cool if you could set the Photos wallpaper to use a darkening color wash, or apply a black/white filter, when in dark mode, for instance. Hopefully, over time, Apple can include Dark Mode versions of its wallpapers again and bring back a dimming option for your own photos once again. The wallpapers ignore the system appearance setting and look the same all day long.Īs such, this is the first time since Dark Mode was introduced that the stock wallpaper does not have a dark mode look… and the bright vibrant colors of the iOS 16 stock wallpaper are particularly harsh on the eyes at night time. If you used your own photos as wallpaper, there was a “Dark Appearance Dims Wallpaper” option that would reduce the brightness of images in dark mode. On iOS 15 and earlier, most of Apple’s stock wallpapers were bundles of light and dark images, that would automatically switch to match the active system theme. Switching your iPhone to Dark Mode on iOS 16 has no effect on how wallpapers are displayed on the lock screen or home screen.
You can see this in action when you transition from Home Screen to Lock Screen with a wallpaper like Astronomy the perspective of the Earth swerves toward you as you swipe up.Īll this investment into dynamism makes it even stranger that dark mode has been almost entirely forgotten about. They are dynamic and lively, and sometimes animated. The iOS 16 wallpapers are not simply static images.
IPHONE ANIMATED WALLPAPERS UPDATE
Here are three things missing from iOS 16 lock screen experience that hopefully Apple will bring back in a future update … Dark mode But we also lost some capabilities compared to iOS 15 in the process. We also lost a few capabilities compared to iOS 15. All users need to do is hit the ' Photo Shuffle' button in the Wallpaper settings menu and manually select the images or use featured photos.The iOS 16 lock screen experience is undoubtedly a big step forward compared to what we had before, with animated wallpaper options like Weather and Astronomy, a sleek overlapping effect for portrait-style photos, the addition of widgets, the ability to easily switch been multiple lock screens, and more. If it is any consolation, iOS 16 allows users to set up entire photo albums as rotating wallpapers. Nonetheless, those are the only options iPhone users have as far as live wallpapers are concerned. Instead, the elements move when users pick up or unlock their iPhones. Interestingly, the available live wallpapers don't animate as some users would expect them to. It is the fourth option in the same menu under ' Collections.' Users can customize the bubbles' color and match them with the system's overall theme. There's also a background that shows floating bubbles in random colors on the lock screen. For instance, the ' Weather & Astronomy' section in the Wallpaper settings menu contains some great options. So does that mean that users can't set up any live wallpaper in iOS 16?įortunately, Apple still provides a couple of dynamic backgrounds that look good. In fact, the last version had more animated background options than iOS 16. This wasn't the case with the previous version of iOS, i.e., iOS 15. Further, long pressing on this image on the lock screen would open the wallpaper options rather than animating it.
Even if users try to put a Live Photo as their wallpaper through the Gallery, iOS converts it to a static image.
