How to set a Live Photo Lock Screen on iOS 27
- Save a Live Photo from ScreenLux. Open a live pick, watch the loop in the preview and tap Save. ScreenLux+ unlocks the save.
- Open Settings → Wallpaper. Tap Add New Wallpaper, choose Photos and select the Live Photo you saved.
- Position it under the clock. Drag so the subject sits below the time, then tap Add.
- Choose the Home Screen. Pick Set as Wallpaper Pair for a matching still, or Customize Home Screen for something else.
- Wake the phone. The loop plays on the Lock Screen each time you wake it.
Frequently asked
Can I set a Live Photo as my wallpaper on iOS 27?
Yes. Save the Live Photo from ScreenLux, open Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper, choose Photos and pick it; the Live badge shows in the picker. Once added to the Lock Screen it plays its loop each time you wake the phone or tap the screen, then settles on the still frame. The Home Screen uses the still only. The 90 Live Photos on this page are composed as short loops at 1080 × 2400 so the motion reads at Lock Screen size.
Why did Apple get rid of live wallpaper?
Apple retired its own bundled set of Live wallpapers when it redesigned the Lock Screen, and it has never offered continuous Home Screen animation, partly to protect battery life. What stayed is the useful part: any Live Photo in your library can be a Lock Screen wallpaper, and it animates when you wake the phone. That is exactly what ScreenLux relies on, so its motion wallpapers work on every current iOS release, iOS 27 included.
Do I need iOS 27 to use these wallpapers?
No. ScreenLux runs on iOS 17 or later, and Live Photo wallpapers work on the Lock Screen across all of those releases. This page groups the picks that suit the current Lock Screen, but the files are the same 1080 × 2400 stills and Live Photos as the rest of the catalog. If you are on iOS 26 or later, Depth Effect and Spatial Scene apply where the image allows; older releases simply skip those extras.
