2. Fix iOS System Issues After Updating to the New iOS Version

It is common that some problems like iPhone getting stuck on a loading screen, live wallpaper not working, and other issues may occur after you update your operating system. Here, I recommend EaseUS MobiXpert, a powerful iOS system repair tool that can fix various software glitches. It is easy to use and has multiple functions:

• Apart from repairing system issues, it enables you to update your iPhone/iPad and downgrade your devices without jailbreak.
• It allows you to enter and exit recovery mode in one click.
• Even when you forget your iPhone passcode, it helps to factory reset your iDevices.
• It can fix your iTunes when your iTunes cannot connect, sync, or other errors.

Step 1. Launch EaseUS MobiXpert on your computer, choose "System Repair" from the Home page.

Step 2.  Then, choose "iOS/iPadOS System Repair" from the new screen.

Step 3. Connect your iPhone or iPad to the computer and choose "Standard Repair." If you want a thorough repair, you can choose "Deep Repair."

Step 4. Confirm your device model and click "Next" to move on. Then, EaseUS MobiXpert will download a firmware for you, which will take a while. If you have installed a firmware before using this software, you can directly click "Verify" to continue.

Step 5. Then, click "Repair Now" to start the repair process. After the repair completes, you can check your device and restart it for use. 

3. Disable Low Power Mode

The Low Power Mode may cause the live wallpaper not to work in iOS 11. When you turn on the Low Power Mode, the iPhone will automatically disable many dynamic effects to save power. You can disable the Low Power Mode as the way below:

• Go to Settings > Battery > Turn off Low Power Mode.
• Back to your Home screen to check the live wallpaper.

4. Change to another live wallpaper

If you have used EaseUS MobiMover Free to transfer live photos from Windows 10 to iPhone or import live pictures from Mac to iPhone, you can try to add another live wallpaper to your iPhone and change to another wallpaper in case the live wallpaper you are using is problematical.

5. Turn off the Reduce Motion Settings

If the live wallpaper is not working on the iOS 11 iPhone, one way you can check is the Reduce Motion, which can reduce the motion of the user interface, including the parallax effect of icons. You need to disable it by:

• Going to Settings > General > Accessibility > finding Reduce Motion and turning it off.
• After this, restart your iPhone and check if the live wallpaper works well now.

6. Turn on the 3D Touch

When 3D Touch is on, you can press on the display using different degrees of pressure to reveal content previews, including live wallpaper. Therefore, if the 3D Touch is not working or you have disabled it, the live wallpaper won't display correctly.

• Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > 3D Touch.
• Tap 3D Touch and swipe it on. You also can adjust the 3D Touch Sensitivity to a level you can use.
