Auto-Change iPhone Wallpapers Daily (Here's How!)

In this article, I'll show you how to set up your iPhone to automatically change wallpapers every day. If you prefer a video format, scroll down to the very bottom of this page, where you'll find a link to the video tutorial.

Launch the "Shortcuts" app on your iPhone.

Create a New Automation:

  • Go to the Automation tab.
  • Tap Create Personal Automation → Choose "Time of Day".
  • Set the time for when the wallpaper should change (e.g., 9:00 AM daily) and tap Next.
  • Set "Run Immediately".

Add Actions:

  • Tap Add Action, search for Find Photos, and select it.
  • In the action settings, filter by a specific album (e.g., "Wallpapers") or select all photos.
  • Set sorting to Random for variety.
  • Turn on "Limit" and set 1.

Set Wallpaper:

  • Tap the "+" to add another action. Search for Set Wallpaper and select it.
  • Specify if you want it for the lock screen, home screen, or both.
  • Turn off "Show Preview".

Save everything and test by running the automation manually or waiting for the scheduled time.
