Check the saved media first

If it does not animate in Photos, go back to the conversion result. Make sure you saved the Live Photo rather than a still image or a screenshot. If the file passed through another app, try the copy saved directly by Liveform.

Check the wallpaper workflow

  1. Check that your iPhone is running a compatible iOS version.
  2. Add the saved Live Photo through Settings → Wallpaper and inspect the Lock Screen preview.
  3. Look for the playback control and enable it when available.
  4. Test the Lock Screen behavior after saving the wallpaper.

If Photos works but the wallpaper does not

The problem is now in the wallpaper workflow or asset compatibility, not necessarily the original conversion. Try a different short clip and check its cover and motion. Keep a known-working Live Photo as a comparison.

Do not expect an endlessly looping Home Screen video. Wallpaper playback and Live Photo playback are separate behaviors, and available controls vary with the system.

What to include in a support request

  • Your iPhone model and iOS version.
  • Your Liveform version and the conversion mode used.
  • Whether the result moves in Photos.
  • Whether the wallpaper preview offers a playback control.
