Personalizing your smartphone wallpaper is an effective way of cementing your smartphone’s home screen as an integral part of your life. An attractive static home screen background can make your handset experience more positive, upbeat and exciting to use. Live wallpaper — which moves like a GIF as you tap and hold — makes your Android or iPhone user experience even more interesting. Some smartphones come with built-in live wallpapers, but it only takes a few minutes to make your own custom live wallpaper from any video you have. Imagine how inspiring it would be to watch that hummingbird you filmed flapping its wings every time you turn on your phone.
Sounds tempting? Here we will explain how to make live wallpapers for iPhone and Android. We’ll show you how to do it natively on your iPhone without having to download live wallpaper apps. We’ll also cover how to do this with third-party apps on Android — the only way to achieve this on Android smartphones.
How to make a live wallpaper on iPhone
If you have an iPhone 6S or later, you can make a live wallpaper natively on your iPhone, without having to download an app. This is because the iPhone 6S and newer models (not including the first generation iPhone SE) allow you to take Live Photos and also enable 3D or Haptic Touch. Live Photos are very short video clips that allow you to edit and choose the perfect frame for your photo. However, they can also serve as a live wallpaper. Here’s how to do it in iOS 13 and iOS 14.
Step 1: Go to Settings > Wallpaper
Step 2: Tap Select a new wallpaper. Scroll down and tap Live photos
Step 3: Select a photo. Make sure you are Live Photo: On activated.
Step 4: Tap set. Choose any Set the lock screen or Set both. Set home screen it is not critical because the background will not scroll on the home screen.
Your live wallpaper is ready
Once you do that, you’ll have a live wallpaper that animates on your lock screen when you tap and hold the image. You can also use several iOS apps to save a GIF or video as a Live Photo, which you can then set as your live wallpaper. For example, IntoLive is a popular iOS app that can turn your videos into Live Photos, just like Giphy can do.
How to make a live wallpaper on Android
Android doesn’t offer built-in live wallpapers like iOS, but you can access a similar feature through a third-party live wallpaper app. Google Play offers a number of different apps for this. Some of the most popular ones include Idutchsolutions Video Live Wallpaper, GIF Live Wallpaper and Walloop Live Wallpapers HD & Backgrounds 4k/3D.
Other apps will even automate the process for you, creating and uploading new wallpapers as often as you like. We love Muzei Live Wallpaper because every day it will give you a new live wallpaper featuring well-known works of art. Meanwhile, Forest Live Wallpaper offers you forest themed animated wallpapers.
To create your own animated wallpaper from videos on your phone, try Video Animated Wallpaper. Here’s how:
Step 1: Open the app, then tap Gallery. Select the video you want to use to create a live wallpaper.
Step 2: Select the settings you want for the live wallpaper. There is an option for Play sound, which is probably not the best idea if you want to save battery or be discreet. You can play the video without stopping. Choose Play the video screen that your live wallpaper works even if you have an app open.
Step 3: After selecting the desired settings, click Set an animated wallpaper.
That’s it. While there are many similar live wallpaper apps out there, Video Live Wallpaper is worth checking out. However, if you’re still not quite sure what you want, you can try out a few different apps and explore your creativity.
