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!
