Over the past few years‚ Apple has dramatically improved the iPhone's Lock Screen and Home Screen. This made switching wallpapers throughout the day even better‚ as users can be more creative when choosing their iPhone backgrounds. Selecting iPhone wallpapers is unique to each user. Some people prefer to use photos of loved ones‚ pets‚ or pictures taken during trips‚ while others pick patterns and designs. Below‚ I'll recommend a few third-party iPhone wallpapers‚ in addition to a few tips and tricks that will improve the overall wallpaper experience on your iPhone. My favorite iPhone wallpapers If you are searching for the best‚ high-quality iPhone wallpapers‚ you should definitely check out Basic Apple Guy's website. They have released several beautiful wallpaper sets that are perfect for any iPhone. My personal favorite collection is Van Gogh meets macOS‚ but they have many other wallpapers you can browse through. Another great option is AR72014‚ who makes so many of the wallpapers that you see in screenshots from bloggers and YouTubers.

You can select Weather and Astronomy‚ Kaleidoscope‚ Emoji‚ Unity‚ Pride‚ Color‚ and other Collections – such as the custom iPhone 14 Pro wallpaper – to display on your iPhone. Lastly‚ don't forget about your own photos. Not only does Apple suggest portraits to become your main wallpaper‚ but you can also scroll through all of your photos and pick the one you like best. Picking your loved ones or pets is always a great option.

What I usually do is opt to have several Focus Mode settings throughout the day. Hence‚ it automatically changes my Home Screen design‚ my wallpaper‚ the apps displayed‚ and which apps send notifications. You should also add widgets to your Lock Screen and Home Screen. When I'm not working‚ I choose to add my fiancé as my background. During work‚ I choose Basic Apple Guy's wallpaper. When I'm working out‚ I prefer a basic stock wallpaper. And when I'm on Do Not Disturb‚ I opt for an image I took when traveling in Eastern Europe in 2021. There's no right or wrong wallpaper for your phone‚ but I hope these tips and tricks help you to pick the best iPhone wallpapers for your needs.
