5 Must-Have iPhone Wallpapers

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.

Winter Break comes about in many different stages, and in the middle of stages #12 and #13, there will come time to take down all the holiday decorations and think about the more important things, like your iPhone wallpaper. For many of us, the looming wallpaper is the first thing we see in the morning and the last thing we see at night. Here are some must have iPhone wallpapers that you should download in the time you have off.

1. The Wallpaper to Keep Siblings Away

Over any break, your house is likely crawling with cousins and siblings. Even though we love them dearly, the last thing we want them to do is snoop around on our phones. With this classic wallpaper we can put up a warning even before they attempt to hack your password. This will not protect your phone from your friends endlessly taking selfies, but they can be used as blackmail later anyway.

2. The Inspiring Quote

With new year’s resolutions in full swing and beginning-of-the-year energy still strong, an inspiring wallpaper quote can help keep you focused and give you a burst of inspiration every time you glance at your screen. For different people inspiration can mean different things, but you should start off with something simple. This is especially helpful for the extra push once the quarter begins. 

3. Cute Animals

Yes the YouTube videos are adorable, but for a little pick-me-up, try one as your wallpaper. Instead of choosing the typical cat or dog try these instead: 

4. Zen Wallpapers

As much as we would like to carry around little sand gardens to rake when we are stressed, sometimes we can try just a simple picture to relax our minds. So while we are checking the 10 apps on our phone, seeing the picture of a peaceful rock structure could help.

 

 

5. Minion Wallpaper

The movie Despicable Me will always be associated with minions who are hilarious and make great wallpaper backgrounds. Sometimes when life happens, you need some funny little yellow creatures to make you smile.

These are just a few options when it comes to choosing your iPhone wallpaper. Happy browsing!
