iOS 27 lets iPhone users set videos and GIFs as animated lock screens

iOS 27 lets iPhone users set videos and GIFs as animated lock screens

With iOS 27, iPhone users can use a video or GIF as a moving background on the lock screen.

To do this, they need an app that converts the clip into a Live Photo, a format the iPhone can use for animated backgrounds.

After choosing and editing the clip, they save it and select it in the iPhone’s wallpaper settings.

The lock screen can show the animation, but the home screen uses a still image.

The effect is linked to haptic features on newer iPhones.

If the animation does not work, the phone may not have iOS 27, or power-saving mode may be limiting visual features.
