LIVE PHOTO NOT SUPPORTED

iOS often rejects Live wallpapers that were not created with compatible Live Photo motion metadata, so recreate the clip as an iPhone-ready Live Photo.

Motion from this Live Photo is not supported as wallpaper !?

This usually means iOS can display the still image but cannot use that motion clip as lock-screen animation.

Why can’t I set non-iPhone Live Photos as live wallpapers?

Non-iPhone Live Photos often lack the Apple metadata iOS expects for lock-screen motion, even if the file looks animated elsewhere.

Is it even possible to use any Live Photo as live wallpaper understand iOS 18?

No, iOS does not accept every Live Photo as a wallpaper, especially converted or imported files with incompatible motion data.
