Manually setting the wallpaper for iOS devices

You can set the wallpaper of the home and locked screens of supervised iOS devices to images of your choice. You can perform this manual action at any time on devices that are already registered. You can choose the same image or different images for the home screen and locked screen.

This feature is useful in a kiosk setting, or shared device environment in a retail setting.

Note the following:

  • To set the wallpaper automatically when a device registers, use the wallpaper policy.
