Apple has quietly removed one of its popular features in its latest iteration of iOS. Now, the iPhone on the latest iOS 16 no longer offer Live Wallpapers. So here is why the company decided to make this change.
For those unaware, the Cupertino based giant first offered this feature on iOS 11 half a decade ago and many iPhone owners did use this feature. However, the brand still took down the feature, which also included Apple’s official Dynamic Wallpapers as well. Dynamic wallpapers were basically wallpapers that moved on the lock screen. To activate the feature, one simply needed to long press on the display to see the motion of a Live Wallpaper.
However, this apparently became an issue when the company also decided to offer a customizable lock screen feature on iPhones, which it had previously offered on its Apple Watch. Since the cuztomizable lock screens also worked via long pressing the display, it appears that the iPhone maker removed the older feature. This change also brings two of the company’s product lines closer together.
In other words, it chose to keep a new feature and remove an older one, since both of them had a similar input method. Apple has worked to build a robust ecosystem that is seamless and likely chose ease in control and functionality across two different platforms; rather than keeping two features that more or less performed similar functions.
