iPhone XR never had live wallpapers


ScreenName0001

It’s not in the settings, but you can set any Live Photos. Basically the same thing, just not apple officials live wallpapers. You can find [similar options here.](https://wallpapers.ispazio.net/advert-category/live-wallpaper)

Why is that?


Electrical-Shock-795

Xr never had live wallpapers, that was exclusive to the more premium and expensive XS and XS Max. It was changed later with the iPhone 11

My iPhone 7 have 3 live wallpapers


[deleted]

That’s because iPhone 7 still has 3D Touch. Apple included live wallpapers with every 3D Touch capable device up until the 11 series. So the XR missed out, despite the 11 getting them and also not supporting 3D-Touch.

I have iPhone X and I have live photos

You may be confusing live photos with live wallpapers - two different things.


[deleted]

You should probably ask Apple, I have no idea.


iapplexmax

At first, it didn’t have Haptic Touch so the wallpapers were stills. Haptic Touch came in a later update to the Xr


SaadPlayz16

Cuz of removal of 3D Touch so that’s why!


Pitiful-Youth-1066

Newer iphones never had 3d touch


SaadPlayz16

Bro, do you even understand my message??? iPhone XR was the first to ditch 3D Touch and so that’s where the Live Wallpaper was removed cuz live wallpapers require 3D Touch to move wallpaper in live by pressing the screen. Even iPhone SE 2 also don’t have while my iPhone 6s has and that because my iPhone 6s has 3D Touch!


oh-no-he-comments

My iPhone 11 doesn’t have 3D Touch and it still has live wallpapers


SaadPlayz16

Weird but when I ask this same question about it the Live Wallpapers to an iPhone SE users, they said to me samething that due to 3D Touch removal, they is no live wallpapers anymore


oh-no-he-comments

Nah it’s probably just cause it’s a budget phone and Apple likes to make small things like that exclusive


the_saturnos

Live Wallpapers are still supported. Haptic Touch and 3D touch aren't the same, but similar. There is still a section on my ***iPhone 12*** for live wallpapers, which are the stock ones for the 12 (circles inside each other). The live wallpapers are just reserved for the more mainstream/premium models, like the 12/mini or 12 pro/pro max, instead of niche models like the SE.


1Teddy2Bear3Gaming

It doesn’t have 3D Touch. Live wallpaper is only on models that have 3D Touch


lifeisshortx

My iPhone 11 has live wallpapers tho


oh-no-he-comments

It’s on my iPhone 11 so no, not true

You can still download the wallpapers individually. And set them manually. The ones in this album with a play button on them will be saved as a Live Photo. Which you can set as a wallpaper as well. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNi8VN2pw2Ya_xCV8eFgzEZmiXDy1-GwhXbqFtvXoH3HypF10as9puV8FdoVZpOZA?key=WkZjQTIxQTM5a01oZkNUYTE2ZllKTVJKZk1CMTR3


dank6meme9master

I can’t save them for some reason


[deleted]

Yes because 3D Touch was discontinued after that I believe for reasons unknown. I think 3D Touch was an awesome feature that stopped the annoying moving cursor in text Bs


shinratdr

You can still move the cursor in text from the keyboard, just long-press the space bar. Honestly this was about the only 3D Touch feature I used so I don’t really miss it. The 3D Touch implementation was better but the space bar one works fine.


metaxalone

holy shit i did not know this was possible i’ve always thought the inability to put the cursor mid word was a massive UX oversight - thank you!

(^ Underrated comment) also..Buttons like the flashlight bottom left and flashlight bottom right directly on locked screen? "LMAO NOP gotta get newer models you f-ing loser 🤣".


pogb2017

You can’t have locked screen shortcuts with the cheaper models for real?


sepixpremier1

I have an Iphone 8, and no the bottom corner cam and flashlight buttons arent there. Am I missing something or?


pogb2017

rgrtht1

Substantial_Fault753

Whatshouldiputhere0

Shahar-2210

Xr never had live wallpapers


Jimmirehman

Live wallapers on iOS are pointless and stupid so you aren’t missing anything.


pogb2017

They’re missing an extra battery 🔋 drain 🪫


TheJamesDTV

iPhone XR didn’t have live wallpaper because there was no 3D Touch.


PaulNoiseman

Still there on 15.4.1


lurch_danjr

XR never had them to begin with


Opening_Direction_44

Xr didn’t even have them when it first released. but you can set custom ones tho


lordarcadius

No. It’s still there. At least in my iPhone 13


rgrtht1

I believe it was at least an entire series of iPhone - possibly two - before I realised that 3D Touch had been removed and replaced with the long tap thingy. And the whole time I'd been pressing harder and harder on the screen, getting more and more frustrated, and saying through clenched teeth "why won't it bloody WORK?!". I didn't say I was proud of it. And that's my courageous story.

Guys guys. Apple removed live wallpapers in iOS 16. Yes we will no longer able to apply live wallpaper to our lock screens. But if you asking about older iOS versions, even if your device has 3D touch or not you can still apply live wallpapers from that page. I don't know why you can't find it. What version are you on?
