Particle Wallpapers brings brand new dynamic wallpapers to iOS

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

The dynamic wallpapers present in iOS are nice looking, but there's just not enough of them to choose from. It would be nice if Apple provided us with additional dynamic wallpapers via a download, or if they included them with a future iOS update.

In the meantime, you can use Particle Wallpapers to add additional dynamic wallpapers to iOS. Particle Wallpapers is a free new jailbreak tweak that lends eight new wallpapers to the seven wallpapers that already exist in the dynamic category. The new wallpapers look nice, but they do come with a few potential downsides that should be considered.

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Have you ever unlocked your iPhone only to be presented with an app or website that you didn't want to appear? Perhaps you were previously looking at something embarrassing, shopping for a gift, etc.
