After iOS 16, I have seen many people love the depth effect lock screen wallpapers and astronomy wallpapers. The Astronomy wallpapers included Earth, Earth Detail, Moon, Moon Detail, and Solar System. Another cool thing I noticed is that Earth and Earth Detail Wallpapers show users’ locations on the lock screen.
Yes, that’s very charming. When the users set Earth or Earth Detail wallpaper on the iOS 16 lock screen, it shows the green dot on the earth view from space which shows your current location on the earth on the lock screen wallpaper.
Ever since I saw the location use iPhone users on the earth wallpaper on the iOS 16 lock screen with the green dot, I also wanted to show the location on the earth wallpaper on iOS 16 lock screen.
If you also want to turn on the location on earth wallpaper on iOS 16 lock screen, here’s a simple guide to do it now with ease.
