Apple has introduced dynamic wallpapers to iPhones with iOS 18 beta 3. According to 9to5Mac, iOS 18 beta 3 includes a dynamic version of the default wallpaper, enhancing the previous four colour options—Purple, Azure, Pink, and Yellow. Developers enrolled in Apple’s beta program can download and install iOS 18 beta 3 on compatible iPhones. Since iOS 17, Apple has made it easier for everyone to sign up for these beta releases.

Apple has introduced dynamic wallpapers to iPhones with iOS 18 beta 3. This feature allows the wallpaper to change throughout the day by cycling through different variants of an image bundled together.

According to 9to5Mac, iOS 18 beta 3 includes a dynamic version of the default wallpaper, enhancing the previous four colour options—Purple, Azure, Pink, and Yellow. Now, users selecting the dynamic variant will see their wallpaper automatically transition between these colours throughout the day.

While macOS offers a more extensive implementation with numerous shades that subtly change over time, the iPhone’s version is simpler, switching only between the four preset colour variants. Despite its simplicity, this addition has been highly anticipated and will likely be well-received by iPhone users.

For the iPhone 15 Pro series, a new flashlight animation has been added. The Photos app has also received minor updates, such as a new Select button at the top right corner, making it easier to select and share multiple photos and videos.

Developers enrolled in Apple’s beta program can download and install iOS 18 beta 3 on compatible iPhones. Since iOS 17, Apple has made it easier for everyone to sign up for these beta releases.

The public beta is expected to be released next week.
