Most people spend a good chunk of their day staring at their phone. Because of this, it's important to be able to customize your phone with the apps and settings you want, as well as the image (or images) you want displayed as your phone's wallpaper.

If you own an iPhone, changing the wallpaper on your home screen is quick and easy. Better yet, you can choose separate images for both your home screen and lock screen, or the same for both.

Here's how to do it.

How to change your iPhone wallpaper

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

2. Scroll down to find the Wallpaper option, and tap it to be taken to the current images you have set.

3. Tap Choose a New Wallpaper.

Tap "Choose a New Wallpaper" at the top.

4. At the top of the next page, you can select Dynamic, Stills, or Live to be taken to stock images in each category. Or, select a photo from your camera roll by tapping a category like All Photos, Recents, or Favorites.

Select a stock image category or choose an image from your camera roll.

5. Tap on the image you would like to set as your background. This will launch a preview screen, where you can move and scale the image. You can also tap the icon (which looks like a phone with two arrows on it) at the bottom-center of the preview page to turn the Perspective Zoom on or off. Turning on Perspective Zoom will make your background image move and shift as you move your phone.

Tap the icon at the bottom to turn Perspective Zoom on or off.

6. When you're satisfied with how the photo looks, tap Set.

7. A pop-up will appear asking you to choose whether you want to Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen, or Set Both. Tap on your choice and the wallpaper will be set.
