Note: For this to work, you will need the Shortcuts app available on the App Store.

Step 1: Allow untrusted shortcuts in iPhone settings

• Go to iPhone settings. Scroll down and tap on Shortcuts and toggle “Allow untrusted Shortcuts.”
• If the option is unavailable: Open the Shortcuts app, go to Gallery and install any shortcuts.
• Now go back to Shortcut app settings and toggle the option.

Step 2: Add multiple wallpapers to a new album

• Download wallpapers of your choice on your iPhone.
• Go to the Photos app and go to Recents Album
• Select the downloaded wallpapers — Tap on the Share button — Choose ‘Add to Album’ — Choose ‘New Album’.
• You can call it “Wallpaper for iPhone” and tap on Save

Step 3: Set dynamic Wallaper on iOS 14.3

• Go to the Set Wallpaper Shortcut link and tap on “Get shortcut.”
• Scroll down in the Shortcuts app and tap on “Add Untrusted Shortcut.”
• Go to the newly created shortcut and give it access to photos
• Tap on the “Recent” album and change it to the “Wallpaper for iPhone” album.
• Tap on Done

Step 4: Set the shortcut as a Back Tap action

• On your iPhone, go to Settings — accessibility
• Under the Physical and Motor section, tap on Touch
• Go to the bottom and choose Back Tap
• Tap Double Tap
• Scroll down and choose the newly created shortcut.

Now, double-tap on the back of your iPhone to change the wallpaper. There are more ways to use the set wallpaper action. For instance, you can create a shortcut where the wallpaper automatically changes whenever you plug in the charger. You should get started with the action if you haven’t already.
