Set wallpaper: choose a new background image | iOS 11 Guide [iPad]

You can change the wallpaper (background image) that displays on both the iPhone’s Lock Screen and Home Screen, and it’s very easy to do.

Open the Settings app and tap Wallpaper, followed by Choose a New Wallpaper. You can choose from Apple’s default images at the top or scroll down to select one of your own pictures from Photos. You can then adjust the image by moving and zooming it until you’re happy with the placement. From the options at the bottom, select Still for a normal wallpaper or Perspective if you want it to subtly tilt with the movement of the phone. Tap Set and select if you want to use this image for the Lock Screen, the Home Screen, or both.
