How to Set a New Wallpaper or LockScreen on Your iPad
Download the new iPad wallpapers to your iPad and put in your Photo gallery. This can be as simple as opening the high-resolution image on your iPad, then tap-holding until it asks you to save the image.
- Now, open up Settings.
- Tap on Brightness & Wallpaper
- Tap on Wallpaper
- Choose Camera Roll
- Tap the image you want to use and then – Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen or Set Both.
Repeat to change or mix up your lockscreen and home screen images. I like to put a busy image on my lockscreen, but something more simple on my homescreen so I can still see all my apps and folders.
