- iOS 26 includes a new 3D wallpaper effect for your lock screen
- Called space scenes, functionality is easy to configure
- Your iPhone may already have created
In recent years, Apple has brought a range of features to its iPhones that give you more power to customize your locking screen. This is no different in iOS 26, and the latest version of Apple’s iPhone operating system allows you to transform your standard photos into 3D images with catchy depth effects.
Apple calls these space scenes, and they add a degree of interactivity to your favorite images. Indeed, they respond to the way you hold your iPhone – tilt it this way and that and your space scene will respond, change and move the image to give it a 3D visual effect.
I quite like the space scenes. Of course, they are not revolutionary and will not forever change the way you use your iPhone, but they are a little careful addition that can make you smile if you use the right images. The functionality may seem a little useless if you read on this subject, but try it for yourself and you will see why it can be so satisfactory.
How to create a space scene in iOS 26
To create your own space scene, you will have to run iOS 26. Then make sure your iPhone is locked, Press your screen for a long timeSO Tap + In the lower right corner. Your device may have already created 3D wallpapers for you, and you can find them in the space scenes section. Likewise, any option of wallpaper with “3D” below will work like a space scene.
To create yours, Press photos At the top left, then choose an image. It is preferable to opt for one with a clear depth of field and well -defined leading and background elements. Once you have chosen, Press the hexagonal landscape icon (It’s just to the left of the button …). Your iPhone will say “generate a space scene”. Once it is done, your 3D wallpaper will be ready – try to move your iPhone to see the effect in action.
Finally, Press Add In the upper right corner, choose if you want to use it on your locking screen and your home screen (by selecting “Define as a pair of wallpaper”) or only one, then slide up to leave the wallpaper selection screen.
With this, you will have your own space scene each time you look at your locking screen. Try to experiment with different images to see what works best, and soon you could have your own 3D background to appreciate.
