How do I get my iPhone wallpaper back to the original?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

To get your iPhone wallpaper back to the original, you can follow these steps:

1. Unlock your iPhone and go to the home screen.
2. Open the Settings app. You can usually find it by swiping down on the home screen and typing “Settings” in the search bar at the top.
3. In the Settings menu, scroll down and tap on “Wallpaper.”
4. Next, tap on “Choose a New Wallpaper.”
5. You will see three options: “Dynamic,” “Stills,” and “Live.” Tap on “Stills” to choose from the pre-installed still wallpapers.
6. Browse through the available still wallpapers and select the one that matches the original wallpaper you had.
7. Once you’ve selected the wallpaper, you can preview it by tapping and holding on the screen.
8. If you’re satisfied with the preview, tap on “Set” at the bottom of the screen.
9. You will be prompted to choose whether you want to set the wallpaper for the lock screen, home screen, or both. Make your selection.
10. Your iPhone wallpaper will now be set to the original still wallpaper you chose.

If you’re unable to find the original still wallpaper in the pre-installed options, you can try resetting your iPhone’s settings. Please note that resetting your settings will not delete any data or media from your device, but it will revert all settings back to their default values. To reset your settings, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. After the reset, follow the steps mentioned above to set the original wallpaper.

If none of the pre-installed wallpapers match the original one you had, it’s possible that the original wallpaper was a custom image or downloaded from the internet. In that case, you may need to locate and re-download the original wallpaper image. Once you have the image saved on your iPhone, you can set it as your wallpaper by going to Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper > Photos and selecting the image from your photo library.

It’s worth mentioning that if you have a backup of your iPhone, you may be able to restore the original wallpaper by restoring your device from that backup. However, keep in mind that restoring from a backup will also revert other settings and potentially erase any data or media that was added since the backup was created.

Getting your iPhone wallpaper back to the original can be done by selecting the original still wallpaper from the pre-installed options or by locating and re-downloading the original wallpaper image. Resetting your settings or restoring from a backup may also help in certain situations.
