How to Automatically Refresh Your iPhone Wallpaper with Beautiful Landscapes

If you’re like me and love waking up to a fresh, beautiful landscape photo as your iPhone wallpaper, you know how tedious it can be to find, download, and apply a new one daily. I used to rely on an iOS shortcut that fetched content from Unsplash, but unfortunately, that site has been down for months. Luckily, I’ve found a fantastic alternative that works flawlessly: a shortcut created by Tech-How to get Bing’s daily photo.

Here’s how you can set it up to automatically update your wallpaper with minimal effort:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Download the Shortcut:
   • Visit the Bing Wallpaper for iOS GitHub page.
   • Follow the instructions provided to download the shortcut.
2. Edit the Shortcut:
   • Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
   • Find the Bing Wallpaper shortcut you just downloaded and tap to open it.
   • Remove the Image notification: In the shortcut editor, find and delete the action that sends a notification with the new image. This step is optional but helps streamline the process.
3. Set Up Automation:
   • In the Shortcuts app, go to the Automation tab and tap the “+” icon to create a new automation.
   • Select “Create Personal Automation” and choose “Time of Day” (or another trigger you prefer, such as when you connect to Wi-Fi).
   • Set the time you want the wallpaper to update daily.
   • Add the Bing Wallpaper shortcut as the action to run.
   • Important: Add a “Text” action before the shortcut and input “0”. The shortcut uses this text input to trigger the automatic update.

Enjoy Your Daily Refresh

Once set up, your iPhone will automatically refresh with a stunning new landscape photo every day, sourced from Bing’s daily images. This setup saves you time and keeps your home screen looking fresh and inspiring.

Have Fun!

Experiment with different automation triggers and see what works best for you. Enjoy the beauty of a new landscape every day without the hassle of manual updates!
