Live Wallpapers for iPhone
6 ready-made live wallpapers, free in the Lockimate app. Each preview approximates what your lock screen plays when you wake the phone. We set every one as the lock screen wallpaper on an iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) and watched it play before adding it.

Previews are rendered from the wallpaper files: the ~13 frames before the key photo, slowed and blended into the still, which is how it looked on our iPhone. We haven't timed the on-screen animation yet. Click a wallpaper to see how to get it.
How to get them
Every wallpaper on this page is free in the app's Explore tab. Tap one, then Set as wallpaper: it saves to Photos as a Live Photo, and the app shows the lock screen steps. No account needed.
