When an iPhone is hooked into a charger and held in a horizontal (or landscape) orientation, the Lock Screen mode called StandBy goes on. Three screens make up the device, the fullscreen photo view being one of them. To find out how you can alter it, continue reading.

The second screen of StandBy displays material from your photo library with the time overlayed in the top right corner. In order to prevent unauthorized viewing of your photos, the iPhone must be unlocked in order to access the interactive and configurable photos interface.

Following that, tapping the image will disclose the date and location as well as a View in Photos button, which when clicked will transport you to the location of the image in your Photo Library.

To switch between themes like Favorites, Nature, Pets, Cities, and People, swipe up or down. Additionally, you can add more albums and hide any themes that you don't like. The procedures are outlined in the steps below.

  • With your ‌iPhone‌ unlocked, charging, and in a horizontal position, swipe left on the first StandBy mode screen.
  • Press and hold the photo displayed on the screen.
  • You can swipe up and down to view the different themes, and tap the eye icon in the top-left corner of each photo collection to include or exclude it from StandBy mode (when excluded, the eye icon will have a line through it and the photo will dim).
  • To add a specific album to the collection, tap the + button in the top-left corner of the screen, then tap the album you want to include.
  • Tap Done if you're happy, or tap the minus button on the album you just added to remove it.

You can also customize the widget screen in StandBy mode.
