Iphone wallpaper rotates instead of shuffles

I have one of my wallpapers connected to a focus. Whenever I turn it on, it rotates through a specific set of images each time instead of randomly choosing between them all. How can I fix this?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

I have my own photos in. I just want it to slect those photos at random instead of going in a specific order.

Hi RandomUserThatExists,


Do you have specific photos selected for the Lock Screen wallpaper? If so, try selecting more photos. This will guide you:


"If you choose a photo for your Lock Screen, you can reposition the photo, change the photo style, and more.

  • Reposition your photo: To reposition your selected image, pinch open to zoom in on it, drag the image with two fingers to move it, then pinch closed to zoom out.
  • Change the photo style: Swipe left or right to try different photo styles with complementary color filters and fonts.
  • Create a multilayered effect: If you have a photo that supports layering—like an image with people, pets, or the sky—tap the More button at the bottom right, then choose Depth Effect.
  • Note: The multilayered effect is available on supported models. Layering may not be available if the subject is too high, too low, or obscures too much of the clock.
  • Set the shuffle frequency: If you choose Photo Shuffle, you can preview the photos by tapping the Browse button, and set the shuffle frequency by tapping the More button, then selecting an option below Shuffle Frequency."

Take care.

Hi RandomUserThatExists,


When you link a focus to a specific wallpaper, you can choose photos at the same place you'd set the shuffle frequency. You'll have the option of featured photos or selecting photos manually. You can also refer to this article for how to change the wallpaper, which includes showing how to customize it: Change the wallpaper on your iPhone - Apple Support


Hope this helps.
