iPhone 11 Pro Max: Customize background image

If you want to change the background of your Apple iPhone Pro Max, this works via the settings of the smartphone. There you can set different images for home and lock screen. In addition to Apple's default selection, you can alternatively use photos from your own image gallery.

Change Home and Lock Screen Wallpaper

Apple updates the default selection of wallpapers with every iOS update, so you'll have new images to choose from regularly.To change the wallpaper from your iPhone 11 Pro Max:

1. Open Settings.
2. Scroll down, tap "Wallpapers" and then tap the "Choose new background" option.
3. Now pick either an image from the "Dynamic" or "Single" category. If you want to use your own photo as a background, simply tap on your image gallery and select an image.
4. Now you have the option to scale the image, move it or select a specific section. If you activate the perspectives function, the background image will move with you when you move the iPhone. If you are satisfied with the selection, tap "Save" to continue.
5. Finally, select whether the wallpaper should be displayed on the home or lock screen, or both.

Change background in apps - is it possible?

Some apps also offer you the option for personalization. In WhatsApp, for example, you have the option to customize the chat background. Similar to home and lock screen, you can choose between different preset images or use self-shot photos from your image gallery.
