In this article, we are going to discuss how to put a video as your wallpaper on iphone.
Home screen and Lock screen wallpapers are the images that we view most of the time and they speak a lot about us. A picture speaks a thousand words but video can say even more because they are connected to your memory even deeper.
You might be using a static image as your iPhone wallpaper for years but now you can go one step further. You can use videos for your lock screen as well as home screen wallpaper. It has not been so popular but its use is increasing rapidly.
Putting video as your wallpaper on iPhone is a great way to customize your phone. This action can be possible by using a third-party app like intoLive which is completely free. But why should your video be converted into Live Photo? Well, it's because you can only put animated Live Photo as your wallpaper on iphone.
Apps like intoLive are capable of converting any videos into Live Photos allowing you to put those moving pictures as your wallpaper on iPhone.
Note: All iPhone models do not support setting Live Photos as moving wallpapers. If you are using an iPhone like SE and XR, you can put Live Photo as wallpaper but it won't move.
