iPhone keeps changing the wallpaper by itself: Fix

Does your iPhone keep changing the wallpaper automatically? The choice of wallpaper is completely personal and doesn’t change automatically without your interaction. So, if the wallpaper is changing automatically on your iPhone, you must interfere and stop that from happening. These are the only solutions you need to troubleshoot this problem.

 

Fix 1 – Disable Focus Mode customizations

The main reason why the wallpaper on your iPhone is getting changed because you have customized wallpapers for separate Focus Modes.

Step 1 – To change this, you have to disable or delete the customizations from the iPhone Settings.

Step 2 – So, find the ⚙ icon and open it up.

Step 5 – Now, look in the ‘Customize Screens’ tab. If you see a different set of lock screen and home screen wallpapers, then this is the reason why the iPhone wallpapers are changing automatically.

Step 6 – Simply the tap “➖” button at the top of both the wallpapers.

[Otherwise, you can use the ‘Edit’ function to change the set of wallpaper. You should change those wallpapers to the current preset of the wallpaper, lock screens on your iPhone.]

Once you have done this, the wallpapers on your Home Screen and Lock Screen won’t change, even when you are using any of the Focus Modes.

NOTE – If the wallpapers are still changing again and again, you should turn off the Focus Mode from the Control Center.

 

Fix 2 – Disable the Photo Shuffle feature

While setting up the wallpapers on your iPhone, you may have opted for the Photo Shuffle feature that can shuffle the images.

Step 1 – You can select a different set of wallpapers. So, go to the Settings window.

Step 2 – Open the “Wallpaper” settings.
