Tips

  1. Use dynamic wallpapers: In addition to still wallpapers and live photos, IPHONE also supports dynamic wallpapers. These are wallpapers that change appearance based on your device's current time or location, such as the gradient or bubbles wallpaper. To use a dynamic wallpaper, go to the "Dynamic" category under "Wallpaper" in the Settings app and choose the wallpaper you want to use. (Dynamic wallpaper is supported on models that are compatible with iOS 7 or later.)

  2. Enable dark mode: If you prefer a darker color scheme for your iPhone 7 Plus, you can enable dark mode to change the appearance of the wallpaper and other elements. To turn on dark mode, go to Settings > Display & Brightness and select "Dark" mode.

  3. Use third-party wallpaper apps: While your device comes with a variety of pre-installed wallpapers, you can also use third-party wallpaper apps to find and download new wallpapers. Some popular wallpaper apps include Unsplash, Vellum, and Walli. These apps often offer a wider range of wallpaper categories and styles, as well as options to customize the wallpapers to your liking.

  4. Try different wallpaper sizes: Depending on the orientation of your device and the size of the wallpaper, some parts of the wallpaper may be cropped or hidden. To ensure that your wallpaper fits your screen perfectly, you can try different sizes or resolutions of the same wallpaper. You can also use the pinch-to-zoom gesture to adjust the wallpaper's size and position.

  5. Consider the wallpaper's effect on battery life: Live photos and dynamic wallpapers can be more battery-intensive than still wallpapers. If you're concerned about battery life, you may want to use still wallpapers or choose a less demanding live photo or dynamic wallpaper. You can also enable the "Reduce Motion" setting under Settings > Accessibility to reduce the animation effects of live photos and dynamic wallpapers.
