On September 15, 2025, Apple launched iOS 26, which includes improved notifications, innovative features powered by AI, and greater personalization options for your iPhone. A key highlight of the update is a completely redesigned lock screen. If you’re not sure how to change your wallpaper with the new system, this guide will walk you through setting a new photo and adding the cool spatial effect.

How to change your wallpaper in iOS 26 and add 3D effect

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to changing your wallpaper on iOS 26 after the latest update:

  1. Wake your iPhone and tap on the Lock Screen.
  2. In the bottom-right corner, tap the “plus” button.
  3. At the top of the screen, select a folder or category.
  4. Pick the photo you’d like to use and confirm your choice.
  5. If you’d like to add a 3D spatial effect, make sure to enable it before finalizing. Keep in mind, the 3D feature works best with photos that have depth of field.
  6. To do this, tap the small icon next to the three-dot icon and switch on the effect.

iOS 26 is available for iPhone 11 and newer.
