iOS 14 to come with new wallpaper settings

iOS14 could bring widgets to the iPhone

iOS 14 will be announced at WWDC in June

Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference, WWDC, is still a comfortable two months away, but we’re already getting early leaks of iOS 14. It is interesting to see the potential features Apple may be working on to bring to their next version of the mobile operating system. An early leak of iOS 14 code reveals that Apple may bring some interesting customization options to iPhone users with the next version of iOS.

Twitter user DongleBookPro has shared screenshots from iOS14’s wallpaper settings page. The screenshots show the better organization of the images based on their nature, such as flowers, Earth and Moon etc instead of all the images just being grouped as one. The screenshot also shows a setting called “Home Screen Appearance,” which is just like the one on the Apple Watch. Through this feature, users will be able to define a single dynamic wallpaper for the lock screen and when they unlock the phone, a version of it will appear on the home screen.  The screenshots show a solid gradient, a blurry version and a dark variant of the dynamic wallpaper. This will allow the transition from the lock screen to the home screen to be more fluid and natural.

Other leaks hint at the presence of widgets on the home screen, just like the one on iPadOS. However, unlike the widget of iPadOS which are fixed, the ones coming in iOS 14 will be movable. 9to5Mac notes that all of this is revealed through an early code leak of iOS 14, and features may be delayed or dropped entirely from the final version of mobile OS.
