in ios 16, branded live wallpapers and special ones for the iphone xs max model have completely disappeared, which is very sad, I hope that Apple developers will return live wallpapers from live photo and exclusive for that model live wallpapers and that I have already tried to put several live photos as wallpaper, but they are just like a static picture and more than one tip from apple care support did not help
Never really used the feature so I didn't notice its omission in iOS 16. One of the first things my Dad noticed was that the live photo of our dog he has as the lock screen image no longer plays. I don't understand the need to kneecap certain features in favour of other ones. Surely there's a different way they could have thought up for changing your home screen.
Also, with the new subject removal feature in "Photos" Live Photos have become much harder to watch. You need to specifically tap on a part of the photo that isn't the main subject. I'm starting to think Live Photos won't survive the next iOS update.
Please return live Lock Screen wallpaper! No use for all these changeable screens - it would have been enough to let customize the existing design more - with fonts, widgets etc - why steal great functionality for this redesign?!
iOS 16 on my 13 mini and live wallpaper has gone. I have a lot of live wallpaper and now i can’t use them. Please give us back. This is only a downgrade and maybe the last iPhone.
I really don’t see the point of removing the live wallpapers, I just got Iphone 13 pro max and I loved the live wallpapers so much, i hope this is just to be updated to ios 16 and bring back the live wallpapers. I even lost all of my saved ones. This is not good!
The photo I used as my Lock Screen is of my son, his first laugh. I want live Lock Screen back!! It was the most important feature to me to customize my phone and show off how adorable he was now that he’s older. Please please please bring this back!!
please bring this back!!!!
Please bring back the iPhone 13 default wallpapers… I want to use them. Also the lockscreen settings opening with tap&hold on lockscreen? I have ios 16 for not even an hour and i accidentally opened it like 20 times… it is really annoying!!
I’ve had my favorite live wallpaper since 2017 and I have never changed it until this update to iOS 16. I just wanted to test a new one out and now it no longer works. Please bring back live wallpaper. It keeps me in a happy place when I see my live wallpaper.
Seriously apple, this was not well executed. Just like many others commenting here, I really like having live pictures on my lock screen. What makes it worse, is that it seems the slightest touch on the lock screen throws it into Customize mode. it was never that easy to get the live picture to activate! And then it gets worse, if you actually DO want to customize it, the "Done" button doesn't actually complete the change, it takes you to another popup where you have to make an ambiguous choice between making a Wallpaper Pair, or going to Customize the Home Screen?? What? thats really not the typical intuitive apple implementation.
Done should mean Done.
Customizations should be performed in Settings.
bring back live wallpapers please!! i miss them so much
Also deeply disappointed that this feature is gone. Please add it back in the next release
i miss my live Photo of my son as lockscreen. Just Move setup to settings and bring it back.
Maybe we should all give Apple Feedback that we miss Live Wallpaper.
GUYS. 10/10 times i would rather the live function for my lockscreen than a shortcut to edit the wallpaper and add on the little bits. leave this in settings tho? I cannot believe these were switched out as the the live function is so much more valuable and personalised.
Please bring back life wallpapers! I have iPhone XR and just updated to ios16 last night and now my live wallapaper is gone. I worked so hard to get a cute one and make everything cohesive on my phone and it’s messed up now. I love the upgrades tht came with iOS 16 just really want the love wallpapers back.
