Introduction
Note: This guide assumes you already have the wallpaper image on your iPhone in the Photos app.
Step 1
How to Use Your Own Photos as Apple Watch Wallpapers
- To begin, open the Photos app on your iPhone and select the “Recents” albums.
- Tap on the photo you want as your Apple Watch wallpaper, and then tap on the heart icon at the bottom to flag it as a “Favorite.”
- By default, your Apple Watch syncs photos from your Favorites. If you changed it to a different album, be sure to add the photo to that album in the Photos app instead.
- If you want your Apple Watch to cycle through different photos as your wallpaper (instead of showing just a single photo), you can Favorite as many photos as you want.
