They really need to add the ability to make the shortcut run invisibly. No loading box, no drop down notification, it just does what it’s supposed to do.
Great video, for a unexpected reason. I have found that the BACK TAP is executed accidentally and randomly, which made me stop using it in my iphone. But this is a great example of the kind of serendipitous purpose it might good for. I will give it a try. Thanks
I’ve been using this shortcut for a few months now but for some reason over the last few weeks every time the automation for a specific unsplash wallpaper shortcut keeps showing the error message of “unable to set wallpaper please provide an image to set as a wallpaper”. What should I do to fix this issue?
Best thing I ever did was set the triple back tap to trigger spotlight. I use an iPad for most of my work and command+space for spotlight there has me spoiled so when I found spotlight as an option there it’s been a life saver.
This is so helpful I’ve used it over and over again, I seem to somehow keep ruining the shortcut. Can you update this for iOS 16? Is there a way to get this to work only with your home screen and keep what you have set on your Lock Screen? I can’t seem to get rid of the notification off the automation that I set up for when the phone is connected to power-and the automation does not seem to work. Thank you.
When I download the shortcut using your link, it shows the last step as Set Wallpaper to Images for Lockscreen and Homescreen. It is not in the same order as yours. Also, when I go to run it, there's an error message that says "Please provide an image to set as a wallpaper."

I have setup automation to change wallpaper (from a photo album) & watch face. Sometimes it doesn’t run in the background. When I opened the shortcuts app. App is completely freeze. iOS 14.6 iPhone 12 Pro Max. How to solve this problem?
This worked absolutely fantastic until the latest update iOS. I truthfully don’t know what’s wrong with it now. It simply says picture can’t be found no matter what you do it.
The problem with the unattended wallpaper change action is that the pictures are always zoomed in. So you will only see 2/3 if the picture or so. I think apple has to correct this in a future update.
Don’t do it the pictures are grainy and don’t look good and you can’t change it to your own photos. It is also really hard to change it back to your own picture
Actually I would like to know how I could accidentally have my phone hit five times and call SOS emergency when I'm in Trader Joe's and alert all of my contacts and freak every friggin person out. That was fun. It was in my purse and I must've bumped it five times? So this will be far more interesting than the SOS mess...
@@k.a.r.s4543 There are two ways to activate the SOS signal. You hold the one on the left and the one on the right. That will immediately notify 911. And your emergency contacts if you have them set to notify. Or if you accidentally hit the button on the right five times rather quickly. I talked with Apple tech and he showed me how I did it. And it really is true. The manager at Trader Joe's came up to me last week and said did you survive the SOS? And I said oh my god yes. So yes there's nothing to do with the silent mode. This is for SOS emergencies. And it is a fun thing if you ever accidentally done it by mistake before... there is a way to toggle off notifying all contacts. But either way it will still call 911. It's nothing but to make sure that you were OK. Look it up. It's quite an interesting little feature on the phone. Which is great I guess if you're stuck in the trunk of a car going god knows where.

ridiculously stupid 🤦🏽♂️ why wont these fools just let us put watever videos or pics we want as our lockscreen and homescreen wallpapers like samsung and other android phones,,, i truly despise a unjailbroken iphone 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I love these types of shortcut, tips/tricks videos, please keep them coming 🙏🏽 💜...Love the podcast too!
Great!!! I'm not gonna use this shortcut, but i really want to continue making these type of videos!
That is cool but the resolution of the photos is really low. Is that something we can change?

Agreed. Would love notification settings at least.

Thank you very much for the video
I'm wanting this from a long time
Thanks ❤️

It worked! I always enjoy listening to the Appleinsider Podcast; you do a great job!
Nice job. It was a much needed one. Thanks for the video and the shortcut
Worked like a charm! Thanks
Please keep the shortcuts coming!
great vid! but didn't work with me it says (please provide an image to set as a wallpaper)
any suggestions?

Underrated video. Why?
Kindly, suggest a short cut such as history and cookies should be cleared once the browser is closed.
You can do that in safari settings.
@@subhammahana1856 brother I Wnt to automate it. I know the manual stuff

Great helpful video, thank you!
How to get high resolution please?
amazing tutorial , thank you very much , do you know how can i get bing wallpapers instead of unsplash?
You can design it for ios 16 please. Thank you so much
thanks for the tutorial. love the mod I made to my iphone.
it is not working anymore, is there any alternative way to change wallpaper automatically? Thanks!
Ty for the video man 🤘🏼
Great video!
this is great! if only there were a way to change wallpaper everytime i unlock my ipad
If Apple adds an unlock action that would work! You could set it to run every time you open an app you use often, like safari or mail
when the craziest thing you learned in this video is that the Shortcuts app icon is shaped like an “S” 🤭🤯
Happy to help 😉

Cool
How about being able to use my own photos, say my favourites from my iPhotos. Would I be able to create and run this?
You definitely can. May do a follow up video using your own photos!
@@StephenRobles Thanks, that would be great. 👍
Awesome! Thanks for this!
really helpful 🥺💜💜💜
How can we use a different website to get the photos from? Whenever I use different website it gives me an error.. please let me know!!
Is there a way to do it but instead of tapping the back to do it, it changes automatically every morning?
any simple way to change the wallpaper each hr? I knew i can create the automation one by one, is it possible to create a loop to make it work?
Thanks for this! To randomize the photos, I removed the mountains after '?'. Do you have any more links for urls?
do we any more free resources(urls) that support like unsplash url?

Just updated to the IOS16 PB3 and my shortcut stopped working :(

This is great and all but why is it grabbing such low resolution images?
You can customize the Unsplash url to pull images over a certain size, was trying to keep it simple.
@@StephenRobles how do we customize the url to pull higher resolution images?
super low HD on iPad
@@StephenRobles how?????
Yeah super low res on ipad… any fix?
Niceee
Why I cannot find the “get images from “ option?? I can only find get images from “input”
Ok I made it after reviewing the video. Nice job!
Glad it worked for you, thanks!
Royally disappointing I love this shortcut but after the new iOS 17, it does not work
Anyone got more wallpaper urls
😢it didn’t work😢
How did you get this url?
All the info is here: source.unsplash.com
new guy?
Newish 😉 you can hear me on the AppleInsider podcast mainly
How trusting..

There’s only 2 or 3 unless u mean the silent mode button if so it happened to my mum too

You can add the shortcut directly to your phone with the link in description
first!
Great news! I'll alert the media...
