How To Put Time Behind Wallpaper On iOS 26!

Want to put the time behind your wallpaper on iOS 26? It’s simple and creates a cool 3D effect on your lock screen. First, make sure your iPhone is running iOS 17 or later, ideally iOS 26, and choose a wallpaper with a clear subject and background. Long-press on your lock screen and tap Customize or the plus button to create a new wallpaper. Select a wallpaper from your Photos or system options, then adjust it so the subject overlaps the time slightly. Tap the three dots and enable Depth Effect to let the wallpaper interact with the clock. Once you’re happy with the look, tap Add. Your lock screen will now display the time behind the wallpaper, giving a sleek, layered 3D effect. That’s it!
