I don’t know exactly when it started, but the act of unlocking the phone became slightly numb. With a slight swipe of your finger, you directly entered the application. What exactly was displayed on that screen worth several thousand yuan turned out to be the most easily ignored thing.
In fact, changing the wallpaper is like changing the background music to your mood.
## Why did all the wallpapers you saved become dusty in the end?
Don’t deny it, who doesn’t have dozens of wallpapers in their photo album ready for use? When I was storing it, I thought it was so wonderful that it seemed like someone descended from heaven. However, when it came to the step of setting it up, I felt that it lacked a little meaning.
Either it’s too expensive and looking for icons will make you blind.
Either he was too plain, and even he was stunned for a moment after unlocking it: "Whose phone is this?"
Apple officials actually provide a clear path, but most people simply don’t have the patience to follow it.
## Pick one from the album, but don’t pick that one
Don’t go for that well-edited landscape photo. Don’t choose the kind of selfie with an internet celebrity’s face either.
Try that blurry photo of a cat. Yes, it's that picture. The cat's body is partially blurred, but its eyes are clearly visible. On the iOS 26 system, you enter the gallery by long pressing the lock screen, then slide to the bottom, and a label with the words "Space Scene" will appear.
When you click on it, the system will analyze your photo in a very mysterious way, and it will also pop up the words "generating a space scene." Then, a magical situation occurs. At this moment, the mushy cat suddenly has a size. Its head is in the front area of the screen, and its body is in the back end of the screen.
You tilted the phone, and the cat's eyes actually followed you.
This is the real 3D effect, not the stupid flashing border.
## Widgets are not for viewing information, but for breaking
Don't be so honest when adding widgets.
Don't pile up the weather, calendar, and battery, as that would be too similar to a monitor screen used by a stock trader. You might as well try placing just a single "mindfulness" widget, or simply leave a sunrise and sunset time.
Let the time numbers overlap with the light in the wallpaper.
When the ":" of the minute hand happened to fall on the two eyes of the person in the photo, at that precise moment, the phone suddenly became active.
## Regarding random display, you have to play with it a little bit.
Apple's "random photo display" function is too formal, and as a result, everyone behaves in a polite manner when using it.
Instead of choosing a photo album with a serious look like "character" or "nature", build a brand new photo album called "Stolen Moments".
Put them all in, including the fish you photographed at the wet market, the heat radiating from the roadside stall, the cover of the book held by the stranger in the subway, and even the cup you broke today.
Set to randomly change one every hour.
Life is a mess, why should mobile phones pretend to be peaceful?
## Real masters are all playing "focus mode" linkage
This is the most hidden skill.
After selecting a wallpaper from the gallery, don't rush to click Finish. Look at the lower part of the middle. Is there a small label called "Focus Mode"?
Tie that wallpaper full of code and chaotic line drawings to "work mode."
Take a screenshot of the video of your cat drooling while sleeping and attach it to "Personal Mode".
A completely solid black wallpaper with only a line of tiny fonts that says "Stop looking, sleep" is tied to what is called "sleep mode".
Every time you switch to focus mode in the future, the phone wallpaper will change accordingly.
This is not just changing the wallpaper, it is changing a new layer of skin for yourself in a different state.
## Finally, I would like to say something heartfelt.
I know you will most likely not change after reading this article.
Because changing wallpaper requires a sense of ritual for no reason, and even a little courage. You have to decide what color disguise the piece of glass that faces the world today should wear.
Suppose, one day, you are on the subway and feel very tired. When you unlock your phone, what comes into view is the innocent-looking person on the screen, who seems to have a 3D effect and is smiling at you.
At that moment you will realize that this mobile phone may be more than just a cold tool.
It catches you.
