Setting Dynamic Wallpapers on Your iPhone with iOS 14.3 and Later

To set dynamic wallpapers on your iPhone with iOS 14.3 and later, you will need to follow these steps. First, open the Settings app on your iPhone. Tap on "Wallpaper" and then select "Dynamic Wallpaper". You will see a variety of options for wallpaper patterns, including gradient, photo, and more.

To search for specific wallpapers, tap on the "+" icon in the top right corner. This will allow you to browse through thousands of available wallpapers. You can also search for specific wallpapers by typing in the search bar. Once you find a wallpaper that you like, tap on it to select it as your dynamic wallpaper.

You can set your dynamic wallpaper to change automatically at a certain time of day, or when specific actions occur such as connecting to Wi-Fi or plugging in your charger. To do this, open the Settings app and then tap on "Wallpaper". Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap on "Dynamic Wallpaper" again. Then, tap on the "+" icon and select "Add Action". From here, you can choose which actions you want your wallpaper to change for.

For example, if you want your wallpaper to change at sunrise every day, you can set it up like this: open the Settings app, go to "Wallpaper", then "Dynamic Wallpaper", and then "Add Action". Select "Time of Day" as the action, and then choose "Sunrise". You can also choose to repeat this process on specific days of the week or month.

Next, you will need to create a new automation. To do this, tap on the "+" icon in the top right corner of the screen. This will open up a new window where you can create a new automation. Tap on "Add Action" and then select "Run Shortcut". From here, you can choose which shortcut you want to run.

In your case, you will need to search for the shortcut that you created earlier, which is named "Dynamic Wallpapers". Select this shortcut and tap on "Next". Then, select "Disable Ask Before Running" and tap on "Done".

Now that you have set up your dynamic wallpaper, you can test it out by enabling low power mode. When you do this, you will see that your wallpaper has dynamically changed. Additionally, if you want to disable the notification that appears when you enable low power mode, you can do so from the Screen Time settings.

To access the Screen Time settings, go to Settings and then select "Screen Time". From here, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap on "Show More". Then, tap on "Shortcuts" and select "Disable Notifications for Shortcuts". This will prevent you from seeing a notification when you enable low power mode.

Overall, setting dynamic wallpapers on your iPhone with iOS 14.3 and later is a simple process that can add some visual interest to your home screen. By following these steps, you can create custom wallpapers that change automatically at specific times or in response to certain actions.
