  • iOS 18 beta 3 introduces a dynamic wallpaper. When selected, the wallpaper’s colors change automatically during the day.
  • The dynamic wallpaper feature has been available on macOS for years, and iPhone users have long requested it.
  • Unlike its Mac counterpart, the feature is quite limited on iOS, as it only switches between four color variants.

macOS has offered dynamic wallpapers for a long while now. For those unfamiliar, the feature compiles multiple variants of an image into a single bundle and alternates between them throughout the day. iOS 18 beta 3 finally brings this highly requested feature to the latest iPhones, allowing mobile users to opt for a dynamic wallpaper.

As reported by 9to5Mac, iOS 18 beta 3 offers a dynamic variant of the default wallpaper. Prior to this pre-release build, users were limited to four individual color options: Purple, Azure, Pink, and Yellow. Now, when selecting the new dynamic variant, iOS automatically switches between all four colors throughout the day.
