If you're using a photo as your background, make sure to tap on the three dots in the lower right hand corner and tap "Enable Depth Effect." This will likely be automatically on, and will place your photo's subject partially over the time and/or widgets at the top of your display for a fun visual effect.

If you do not want this effect, tap to turn it off. Occasionally, this effect may not be possible, as your chosen photo may block too much of the time, date, or widgets if layered over it. If that's the case, tapping on the effect will not do anything.

9. Slide your screen left to right to explore Photo Styles.

Slide through these to peruse them, and choose one if it suits your fancy.

10. When you're satisfied, tap "Done" in the upper right corner.
