Coolest iPhone wallpaper ever?
Want to have a little fun with your iPhone? Today’s pro tip shows how to set up a toggling Lock Screen that lets you pull off a cool wallpaper effect with just a tap.
The example at the top of our how-to shows a muscle car … tap on the Lock Screen, and the car’s headlights flip on. But you can take this fun effect as far as you want. For instance, you could pick a photo of your boss and edit it to show lasers blasting out of his or her eyes. Then take the pair of images and set them up as a custom toggling iPhone Lock Screen. Just tap your iPhone to go from good boss to bad boss. It’s bound to be a hit at the next office party.
