Step 3. Let’s set the wallpaper for lock screen view. iOS 7 allows you to install dynamic wallpaper – a feature that Android phones have had for pretty long time. Tap the screen image on the left and, in the new menu, tap to choose either „Stills” or „Dynamic” wallpaper image. Let’s choose „Dynamic”.
