Apple Community Unveils Massive iOS 26 Depth Effect Wallpaper Collection

Lead A curated set of over 50 high-resolution wallpapers optimized for the new iOS 26 Lock Screen Depth Effect debuted online today, offering users a wide range of 3D-style backgrounds for iPhone lock screens and home screens.

Nut Graf Enthusiasts and designers released a comprehensive pack of depth-effect wallpapers that leverage iOS 26’s Liquid Glass interface and scalable clock typeface, catering to iPhone users eager to personalize their devices with the operating system’s standout visual features.

iOS 26 Depth Effect Wallpaper Pack Developed by the YTechB team, the collection includes more than 50 hand-picked images-spanning abstract art, landscapes, architecture, animals, and more-each optimized to interact seamlessly with iOS 26’s 3D lock screen clock and depth layering. The wallpapers are sized for modern iPhone displays but can be adapted for older models.

Community Reaction and Availability

Wallpaper curator @vukandric first showcased select depth-effect designs on X, highlighting the interplay between foreground subjects and the expandable iOS clock.
Users praised the pack for its variety and compatibility, noting that many images conceal the clock behind prominent subjects when the clock dimension is increased.
All wallpapers are available for download via Google Drive links and dedicated wallpaper apps, with instructions for proper placement on both lock and home screens.

How to Apply

Update to iOS 26 (released September 15, 2025).
Long-press the Lock Screen and tap “Add New.”
Select a downloaded depth-effect image from the Photos app.
Adjust the clock size to hide it behind foreground elements, then save.

Looking Ahead As the iOS 26 rollout continues, expect further community-crafted wallpaper packs and official additions from Apple, which currently offers four “Liquid Glass” color themes-Sky, Shadow, Halo, and Dusk-in 16 variations for both light and dark modes.
