To get started, open the Settings app on your device.One of the headlining changes of iOS 16 is support for an all-new, fully customizable Lock Screen. You must receive at least one notification from Shortcuts before taking these steps. This has to be set each time your device restarts :( For now, this is achieved by taking the following steps (requires Screen Time.) Unfortunately Apple makes this difficult to do, and it may ultimately become impossible. Most people will want to disable these notifications. Prior to iOS 15.4: You may notice that each time a shortcut runs there is a notification on your device. Stage 3: Disable Shortcuts Notifications (optional)Ĭoming Soon: The upcoming iOS 15.4 update allows shortcut notifications to be silenced! When you update to iOS 15.4 you will need to update each automation to disable the new “Notify When Run” option. When you have setup all eight image automations, you are ready to move on to Stage #3. This is another reason you may want to rename the folder to “iphone” or “ipad” - it can become the specific destination for whatever wallpaper you want set. You can also press play on the appropriate automation in the Shortcuts app to manually run it now. The automations will then automatically begin using that wallpaper when time next changes. The fastest way to do this is to replace the contents of the folder you used for setup on iCloud Drive with the images from another wallpaper. If you are like me you may want to try out several different wallpapers before deciding on a favorite. Feel free to adjust the timings to better sync with time, or extend or shorten the sunrise or sunset. Please note that these times are what we found to be most optimal for us.

Sunrise3.heic - 30 minutes after sunrise, daily. Sunrise2.heic - 15 minutes before sunrise, daily. Sunrise1.heic - 1 hour before sunrise, daily. You need to repeat the process above for every one of these images. Image Timing Table - Important! Repeat process above for every image…Įvery wallpaper contains eight images - four which are set based on sunrise time, and four which are set based on sunset time.
