With this Dutch trick you can make beautiful iPhone wallpapers for iOS 16 | Tech

Earlier this week, Apple released iOS 16: a major update to the operating system on all iPhones released since 2017. Central to this is the new unlock screen, on which you can adjust the clock, associated widgets and of course the background.

At the same time, iOS 16 includes a smart way to cut into your photos so that you can extract something specific from a record at the touch of a button. For example, you can quickly make a sticker of your dog for WhatsApp.

Looking for a smartphone? The editors of BestGetest put the phones with the best cameras in a row.

The Dutch designer Tom Klaver (33) has made a small program to use the latter to make a trendy wallpaper for your iPhone. Then you can, for example, put a person in the center of the screen, put a trendy color over it and get the above result.

You make such a wallpaper as follows:

1. Go to the App Store and make sure the ‘Commands’ app is installed. If not, do so anyway.
2. Click on this link from your iPhone and click Add Command.
3. You are now in the Assignments app. Tap on ‘Wallpaper Maker’ there.
4. Select a photo that you want to use as the basis for your new background.
5. Place the cutout spot as you want it on your phone background and tap ‘Done’.

Now that the image is created, you can set the wallpaper on your iPhone. It goes like this:

1. Unlock your phone and press and hold the home screen.
2.Tap the plus icon at the bottom right of the screen.
3. Press ‘Photos’ and choose the background you just created.
4. Swipe from right to left to place a color filter over the photo.
5. Customize the clock and widgets to your liking and tap Add.

You can still adjust the colors afterwards if you don’t like them. In addition, when configuring, you can tap the three dots at the bottom right to be able to choose between more colors under ‘Style color’.

The above can also be done without the trick that Klaver has made, but is a bit more hassle: you then have to open a photo, select and copy the object, and then put it in a photo editor on an image the size of your wallpaper.
