The best ways to find iPhone Wallpapers

If you want to change the style or layout of your iPhone or iPad, the options are limited. However, you’re able to choose a background for the lock screen and your overall home screen. In fact, Apple offers some different types of wallpapers to choose: Stills, Dynamic and Live. Stills are just unanimated images that don’t move and Live wallpapers are animated, but only when you 3D touch the display. Because of that, they are only available for the latest iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Dynamic wallpapers are animated backgrounds that slowly change their appearance.  If your iOS device is jailbroken, you can download and install LiveWallEnabler, which will add those wallpapers to older iPhones and iPads. While the iPhone has some wallpapers preinstalled, the variety is rather small. But don’t panic! You can generally use every image on your iPhone as a wallpaper, no matter if it’s a picture, coming from as a download from a website or an app. In the following article we’ll give you the best way to find iPhone or iPadwallpapers.
