What is Depth Effect?
The Depth Effect uses AI to make the subject of a photo stand out by placing it above the clock, creating a 3D effect that makes it pop. However, not every photo works with this feature.
For the best results, use pictures with a clear subject and a simple background. While Apple provides built-in wallpapers for this feature, we’ve found even better options for you to try.
Tips for Using Depth Effect Wallpapers
Before diving into the collection, here are some handy tips to get the most out of your Depth Effect setup:
- Make sure there are no widgets below the clock on your lock screen.
- Use pictures with sharp contrast between the subject and background.
- Drag and zoom the image so the subject overlaps the clock for the effect to work.
- If using your own image, tap the three dots in the bottom-right corner of the lock screen editor to ensure Depth Effect is turned on.
