When you have multiple favorite wallpapers, family photos, or pet pictures, do you struggle to decide which one to set as your wallpaper? Good news for such people! This time, I'll introduce in detail how to set multiple wallpapers on iPhone and how to switch between them.

Multiple wallpapers can be specified on iPhone!

If you're an iPhone user, you've been able to set multiple wallpapers since iOS 16 and above!

Lock Screen

If multiple wallpapers are set, they can be randomly switched at any time (every time you tap, when locked, hourly, daily). Also, by using "Focus mode", you can automatically switch at specified times or days of the week.

Home Screen

You can't set multiple wallpapers for the home screen, like the lock screen. However, you can use the lock screen's "Photo Shuffle" feature to switch various wallpapers on the home screen in sync with the lock screen!

How to use "Photo Shuffle" to switch between multiple wallpapers by tapping the lock screen

1. Hold down on the lock screen.
2. Tap the "+" button next to Customize.

3. Select "Photo Shuffle" from the displayed options.
4. Tap "People, Nature, City categories" or "Album".

5. Select "Shuffle Frequency" to determine how often the images are displayed. You can choose from "On tap, On lock, Hourly, or Daily”.
6. Tap "Select Photos Manually".

7. Tap "All" to view all photos.

In the end, choose whether to sync the home screen with the lock screen. If you want the home screen to be a random image in conjunction with the lock screen, choose from the following
