To change the screen saver on an iPhone, which essentially means changing the wallpaper for the Lock Screen and Home Screen, follow these steps:

  1. Via Settings:
    • Open the Settings app.
    • Scroll down and tap Wallpaper.
    • Tap Add New Wallpaper.
    • Choose from categories such as Photos , People , Photo Shuffle , Live Photo , or Apple's suggested wallpaper categories like Weather, Astronomy, Emoji, or Color.
    • Customize the wallpaper if desired, then tap Add.
    • Choose Set as Wallpaper Pair to apply the same wallpaper to both Lock Screen and Home Screen, or tap Customize Home Screen to set a different wallpaper for the Home Screen.
  2. Via Lock Screen:
    • From the Lock Screen, touch and hold the screen until the wallpaper gallery appears.
    • Swipe left or right to select an existing wallpaper or tap the plus icon (+) to add a new one.
    • After selecting, customize fonts, colors, and add widgets if you want.
    • Tap Add to set the wallpaper.
    • You can also link a Focus mode to a specific wallpaper or delete wallpapers from this gallery.
  3. Additional Notes:
    • On iPhones with iOS 17 and later, the standby mode screen saver is linked to the Home Screen wallpaper, so changing the Home Screen wallpaper also updates the always-on display screen saver.
    • You can customize fonts, colors, and add widgets to personalize your Lock Screen further.
    • The process is quick and can be done in less than a minute.

This method covers both the traditional wallpaper change and the newer standby screen saver feature introduced in recent iOS versions
