Live wallpapers are one of the wonderful features that smartphones have introduced.
One of the things that can be transformed into live wallpapers is TikTok videos.
If you discovered a TikTok video that you want to watch constantly, or perhaps you wish to use one of your live videos, and you don’t mind a slight increase in battery consumption, there are methods to set it as a live wallpaper.
Today, I will discuss how to create live wallpaper on TikTok for Android and iOS devices. Let’s dive in!
How to Succeed on Android
So, you have an Android phone and you want to set a TikTok from your account as a live wallpaper on your device.
Here are the detailed steps for setting a TikTok video as your wallpaper:
- First, launch the TikTok app on your Android device.
- Locate the video you wish to set as your live wallpaper. Ensure that the account that posted it is public, and download the video to your phone.
- Next, tap the three dots in the bottom right corner, and select the Live Photo option.
- Exit the TikTok app and open the Play Store. To proceed with this process, you need to download and install the TikTok Wall Picture app, which is necessary for creating a live wallpaper from TikTok.
- When searching for the app, ensure that it is the official one developed by TikTok Inc, and then install it on your Android device.
- After installation, return to the TikTok video you want to use, tap the three dots again, and select the Live Photo option. This will direct you to the Wallpaper app you just downloaded.
- Once in the app, you will be prompted to choose whether you want the TikTok video as wallpaper, as a lock screen, or as a combination of both. Select your preference.
That’s it! You now have your animated wallpaper for the home screen all set!
How to Succeed on iOS
One unique aspect of the iPhone is that it treats live photos as images rather than videos. This actually simplifies the entire process for you!
To set a live wallpaper as your lock screen or home screen on your iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open TikTok on your phone and locate the TikTok video you want to use as a live wallpaper.
- Tap the share button (the curved arrow button), and when presented with the various options, select the Live Photo button.
- To set the Live Photo you just downloaded as your home screen wallpaper, you will need to follow the same steps you typically use to set a new wallpaper. On iPhone, the video will be converted to an image (but don’t worry – you’ll still have your dynamic wallpaper).
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone, then navigate to the Wallpaper section and tap on Choose a New Wallpaper.
- When you tap on the Choose a New Wallpaper option, you will be redirected from Settings to the Photos app. In the photo gallery, locate the TikTok video you wish to use as a live wallpaper. Once you find it among your photos, tap on it and select Set.
- After that, you will need to choose whether you want the TikTok video as a lock screen, wallpaper, or both.
That’s it! Now your TikTok will always be accessible on your iPhone.
