Why not change your lock screen according to the day or your mood♡?

Checklist for When Random Settings Do Not Work

If you cannot set it to random, check the following:

  1. Ensure your iPhone is updated to the latest OS, iOS 17
  2. If you cannot set it as described above, make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest version. If it’s not iOS 17, you might not be able to set it correctly.

  1. (If you specified an album) Check if the album folder you set has multiple photos
  2. Restart your iPhone and try again

  3. Your iPhone might be glitching, so try turning it off and on again!

Choosing Your Preferred Frequency for Random iPhone Lock Screen Display

You can choose from four options for the random display timing of the iPhone lock screen:

・On Tap

・On Lock

・Hourly

・Daily

If you want to enjoy many images, it is recommended to set it to “On Tap” or “On Lock”. For example, the “On Tap” setting allows you to change the image just by tapping the lock screen, so you can enjoy your favorite images without even opening the photo app.

If you want to carefully select and enjoy special or favorite images, the “Hourly” or “Daily” setting is good. Enjoy your favorite wallpaper on the lock screen at your preferred timing!
