How do You Save Photos as Wallpaper for Your iPhone
You have the option of saving photos for your HOME screen or for your LOCK Screen. Your Lock Screen photo is the background photo you see each time you “wake up” your phone.
Your Home Screen appears when you unlock your screen and see all of your APPS overlaying the background photo on your screen.
There are even options for setting dynamic or live photo wallpaper. The options for personalizing your lock screens are growing all of the time.
The best way to save these photos as wallpaper for your iPhone is to upload them to the phone itself. Lucky for you, I’m going to tell you how!
How to Add an Image to Your Photo Library
Be sure you are viewing this blog post on your phone.
Scroll to the FREE image in this post that you want to save to your phone.
Hold your finger on the photo until a box pops up on your screen prompting you to Share, Save to Photos, or Copy
Save the image to your camera roll by clicking “Save to Photos”
How to Save an Image as Wallpaper for Your iPhone
Now, find the image in your camera roll and click the icon on the bottom left side that looks like a document with an arrow pointing up.
When prompted, scroll down to “Use as Wallpaper”.
You may wish to adjust the photo on your screen using two fingers to move or crop. Due to the varying nature of screen sizes, you may need to adjust the photo to the right or left, up or down, or zoom in or out to make the photo fit your screen just the way you want. Then click “Done”.
You will have the option to “Set as Wallpaper Pair” for both the Home and Lock Screen or to “Customize Home Screen”.
Choose “Set as Wallpaper Pair”.
Click the “Customize” button to change either the Lock Screen (on the left) or the Home Screen (on the right).
When you have your Lock Screen set, you can use the same photo for your Home Screen or add another photo by clicking the “Customize” button. Unless you like the blurred look, be sure to turn off “Blur” so that you can see the picture clearly.
I added a different photo to my home screen.
Enjoy!
