FULL STORY ======================================================================iOS 26 includes a new 3D wallpaper effect for your Lock Screen Called Spatial Scenes, the feature is easy to set up Your iPhone might have created some for you already Over the last few years, Apple has brought a range of features to its iPhones that give you more power to customize your Lock Screen. Thats no different in iOS 26 , and the latest version of Apples iPhone operating system lets you turn your standard photos into 3D images with eye-catching depth effects. Apple calls these Spatial Scenes , and they add a degree of interactivity to your favorite images. Thats because they respond to the way you hold your iPhone tilt it this way and that and your Spatial Scene will respond, shifting and moving the image to give it a 3D visual effect. Im pretty fond of Spatial Scenes. Sure, theyre nothing groundbreaking and wont forever change the way you use your iPhone, but theyre a neat little addition that can bring a smile to your face if you use the right images. The feature might sound a little pointless if you just read about it, but try it out for yourself and youll see why it can be so satisfying. How to create a Spatial Scene in iOS 26 (Image credit: Future / Apple) To create your own Spatial Scene, youll need to be running iOS 26. Next, ensure your iPhone is locked, long press your screen , then tap + in the bottom-right corner. Your device might have already created some 3D wallpapers for you, and you can find them in the Spatial Scenes section. Similarly, any wallpaper option with 3D underneath it will work as a Spatial Scene. To create your own, tap Photos in the top-left, then pick an image. Its best to opt for one with a clear depth of field and well-defined foreground and background elements. Once youve chosen, tap the hexagonal landscape icon (its just to the left of the button). Your iPhone will say Generating Spatial Scene. Once thats done, your 3D wallpaper will be ready try moving your iPhone to see the effect in action. Finally, tap Add in the top-right corner, choose if you want to use it on both your Lock Screen and your Home Screen (by selecting Set as Wallpaper Pair) or just one, then swipe up to leave the wallpaper selection screen. With that, youll have your own Spatial Scene every time you look upon your Lock Screen. Try experimenting with different images to see what works best, and soon you could have your own 3D background to enjoy.
