How to Use a GIF on iPhone Lock Screen

Using a GIF on the iPhone Lock Screen (iOS) is a tip that allows the user to further personalize the Apple cell phone. To do this, you need to save the GIF on your smartphone as a Live Photo and, in the background image options, activate the option. It is worth mentioning that the tip will work only for the owners of iPhone 6S and iPhone 7, since the models of the iPhone 6 down do not have the Live Photos function.

For this tutorial, we will use the Giphy app to download the GIF that will be saved as Live Photo. See, step-by-step below, how to set a GIF as the background of the iPhone locked screen.
