My biggest issue is the outright lie this app is perpetuating. You simply set the wallpaper as your background and the animation runs continuously. This app only contains LIVE wallpaper, made from LIVE photos, which require force touch on the lock screen to see the animation, and do NOT animate on the springboard background behind your icons.

iPhone Live Wallpapers feature is not there in iOS 16: why Apple removed it
YouTuber Greg Wyatt Jr. of Apple Explained has answered the question and has said it’s related to the gesture required to get the wallpaper to move on the lock screen. To bring the custom lock screen functionality to iPhone, Apple would have to add a new gesture either to trigger it or eliminate the Live Wallpaper feature entirely so that the long press would bring up the custom lock screen interface, similar to how it works on Apple Watch. Therefore deleting Live Wallpapers made sense since it brought the user experience of the iPhone and Apple Watch together, making each device easier to operate. Citing Apple’s internal research, the YouTuber said not many people were utilising Live or Dynamic Wallpapers throughout the years, thus deleting the feature wasn’t anticipated to create much disappointment.
How to Change iPhone or iPad Wallpaper Automatically
Turns out, you can set your favorite wallpapers to change automatically thanks to a tedious yet pretty reliable hack! Well, it requires you to create a photo album with all the images that you want to use as the wallpaper of your device. After that, you need to permit the shortcut called “Wallpaper” to access the album and cycle through all the images. Bear in your mind that the “Wallpaper” shortcut requires your device to be running iOS 14.3/iPadOS 14.3 or later (currently in beta). Open the Settings app on your device > Shorcuts > Allow Untrusted Shortcuts. With permission to the album, the shortcut will automatically cycle through the selected images every time you tap on it.
Whenever you run this shortcut, Wallpaper will be able to access your photos.” Make sure to tap on OK to confirm. Once you have allowed the Wallpaper shortcut to access your photo album, add it to the home screen.
It’s done to not only access it with ease but also change the iPhone or iPad wallpaper with just a quick tap. Now, tap on the “My Shortcuts” tab at the bottom left corner of the screen. Up next, you can select a nice-looking icon for your shortcut, give it a suitable name, and hit Add. If you want the home screen of your iPhone to always look pleasing to the eyes, keep adding all the nice-looking wallpapers to the album.
Now that you have got a good hang of this hack, get the most out of it to deck up your home/lock screen with attractive wallpapers and switch them with ease.
