Personalize your iOS device
WALLPAPER SETTINGS
Go to the Settings app and choose Wallpaper. On this first screen, you can see your current wallpaper setup for the Lock screen and Home screen. Tap the “Choose a New Wallpaper” option to change either, or tap the current ones to change how they display (see step 3).
IMAGE TYPES
Tap “Choose a New Wallpaper.” At the top are choices from Apple, including Dynamic wallpapers (which animate by themselves), Still images, and Live wallpapers (which animate when you 3D Touch the screen). Below are your photo albums from the Photos app.
SETTING THE IMAGE
Tap an image to see a preview of how it will look. Choose whether it stays static (Still), whether it moves as you tilt your device (Perspective), or if it animates (Live). Tap Set when happy, then choose whether it should be your Lock screen, Home screen or both.
CHANGE IOS’S APPEARANCE
> TEXT SIZE
Go to Settings > Display & Brightness and tap Text Size to bring up a slider that enables you to adjust the default size of text in iOS. The change will be visible in all apps that tie into iOS’s Dynamic Type feature, which all the best should. But there’s more! Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Text and there’s a switch that enables even bigger sizes.
> REDUCE ANIMATIONS
Also in Settings > General > Accessibility is an option named Reduce Motion. Tap it you’ll see a switch labeled the same thing. Turn this on to disable effects such as the way app icons gently move as you tilt your phone, and the animation of apps shrinking and growing when you open or close them. This can save power, and some people find it more pleasant to use.
