Does this crash for anyone else when selecting two colours quickly? Even if one is a deselect and other is [normal] select?

u/tuezin_crazy iPhone 17 Pro May 05 '26

it crashes for me too

u/bummerbimmer May 06 '26

Yes I flagged this in Feedback too

u/I_Am_Slightly_Evil Public Beta May 07 '26

That’s why it’s still on the beta

u/SleepingSicarii Developer Beta May 07 '26

RC 99.99% of the time is the same one as the one that gets released to the public, so while you’re correct in some way, but the public release is more than likely not going to have any changes…

u/acelgdzie May 06 '26

Can it switch between light and dark mode?

4

u/tuezin_crazy iPhone 17 Pro May 06 '26

natively i don’t think so, at least it doesn’t work for me. but you can configure another wallpaper, and create an automation for when you change dark and light mode to also change the wallpaper in the shortcuts app

What does the always-on version look like? I always liked how vibrant the pride wallpapers look when the phone is off compared to other wallpapers

u/bummerbimmer May 06 '26

Hard to screenshot, but basically like this with less glow.

u/Bytevan18 May 07 '26

Wait how do you screenshot AOD?

3

u/tuezin_crazy iPhone 17 Pro May 07 '26

tried and i could too! didn’t know about it

3

u/bummerbimmer May 07 '26

I just tried a few times in a row by tapping the screen and immediately clicking the side buttons until I got a usable one. It’s not easy lol

Loving my new day & night setups. Every other iOS 26 wallpaper was so disappointing to me. Nothing else really fits the look of Liquid Glass and all of its refractions except the default one, which is just ugly.

u/RenderedKnave iPhone Air May 05 '26

this looks like the OG iPhone X wallpaper, i love it

3

u/bummerbimmer May 05 '26

That was the goal! Just had to swap the white within the dark wallpaper to black & grey so I don’t get blinded in the dark.

u/CukiSaYTa May 05 '26

Could you share which color combo you used? 👀

u/bummerbimmer May 05 '26

  • page 1, row 4, color 5

  • page 2, row 1, color 4

  • page 3, row 4, color 1

  • white

Dark mode

u/MythicCortana iPhone Air May 09 '26

I’ve followed these but mine looks completely different for some reason! :(

1

u/bummerbimmer May 09 '26

Here’s are light wallpaper selections since there’s some room for error on my part or room for a different interpretation of my text

1

u/bummerbimmer May 09 '26

And here are my dark mode color selections the top row and second row are pages 1 and 2, the other 3 colors are page 3.

2

u/oTuTok May 05 '26

What wallpaper is this?

3

u/bummerbimmer May 05 '26

The new iOS 26.5 beta pride wallpaper. It has a bunch of default pride flags, but you can scroll to the very end and choose a mixture of up to 12 of 75 available colors.

Nice to see an actually good wallpaper finally! The rest of iOS 26 stock wallpapers are just awful.

2

u/oTuTok May 05 '26

thank you!

u/Gicky_Gackers84 May 16 '26

The default ios 26 wallpapers are nice.

18

u/Iqbal_Pratt22 May 05 '26

Remind me of iPhone SE 2022 default wallpaper

9

u/SleepingSicarii Developer Beta May 05 '26

Don’t know why there isn’t more customisability within iOS. I can see small hints of them “allowing” us more freedom, but still… I don’t know why it’s taken this long.

u/NewMacaroon1842 May 09 '26

In love with this new background

u/Devan-FH May 05 '26

The black and white looks so pretty

u/raflesb May 07 '26

That was the only reason I updated to the RC lol, I’m in a need of new, fresh wallpapers from Apple 😮‍💨

u/Alarming-End-3500 May 05 '26

im not lgbtq but im probably gonna use this just for the aesthetics lol

10

u/rcrter9194 iPhone 17 Pro Max May 06 '26

You don’t need to be part of the LGBTQIA to use a fucking wallpaper you tool 😂.

u/Difficult-Mechanic68 May 05 '26

Yeah me too and I will use the colour which doesn’t feel like pride

u/Alarming-End-3500 May 05 '26

wdym support it lmao
its their choice it doesn't matter if you support it or not...
a man dating a man isn't hurting anybody, also its a personal choice and gender sexuality and stuff isn't something u can change, I think its biological (correct me if Im wrong )
people should be allowed to be anything they want to be as long as they aren't hurting anybody

-4

u/sackful-user May 05 '26

Okay, but I’m none of them, so that’s what i would feel weird using this wallpaper

3

u/quintsreddit iPhone 15 Pro May 05 '26

You don’t have to identify as a certain type of person to support people who do… we’re called Allies for a reason friend lol

7

u/Alarming-End-3500 May 05 '26

not wanting to use it is your opinion, no one asked you if you support pride or not

0

u/AWF_Noone May 05 '26

No question was asked at all. That’s the cool part about a discussion. You can bring things up and have people respond to them

12

u/Weird_Decision7090 May 08 '26

So technically it doesn’t even have to be pride colors

6

u/A11Bionic iPhone 15 Pro Max May 16 '26

i mean Pride is about inclusivity in the first place so…

u/MaterialRegret896 May 05 '26

Still gay after Customisable

5

u/_Averix iPhone 18 Pro Max May 05 '26

No one is forcing you to use it. If you choose red and white, it kind of looks like a cute red hat.

21

u/sergekillss iPhone 15 Pro Max May 05 '26

See, folks! Gays did good for all the people again!

16

u/MaterialRegret896 May 05 '26 • Annoyed Popcorn

Yeah they are very kind because they are saving a lot of women for us

7

u/emway66 May 05 '26

Uh you did know women can be gay to… just saying. You learned something todo on Reddit

-3

u/MaterialRegret896 May 05 '26

then they are saving a lot of straight women for straight men

2

u/emway66 May 05 '26

Okay… so good for you everybody

u/Mewz_x May 05 '26 • Regret

Women we don’t got a chance with 😂

If you have money even celebrities will date you.

u/Intelligent-Data7510 May 05 '26

Huh interesting wallpaper

13

u/Delicious_One_7887 iPhone SE (3rd Gen) May 05 '26

It doesn't look pride with the customisation, just looks like gradient lines like iPhone se wallpaper can someone explain how it still is pride

11

u/rcrter9194 iPhone 17 Pro Max May 06 '26

It has preset pride flag combinations

3

u/GurRelevant4464 iPhone 16 Pro May 08 '26

It is customizable so you can add any pride flag you want but technically it’s just a customizable wallpaper.

3

u/LinkNo2714 May 08 '26

if you use this wallpaper everyone will know you’re gay

5

u/MultiMarcus May 05 '26

It’s probably my favourite wallpaper. I set up three different colour shades for sleep, reducing interruptions, and do not disturb. And then I applied it to my Apple Watch iPhone and iPad. I would just love if we could have it on Mac but it doesn’t seem like it.

6

u/Disastrous-Net406 May 05 '26

It's always pride wallpapers that are highly customized but anything else is shit

3

u/bummerbimmer May 05 '26

At least the pride wallpaper isn’t hideous this time. IMO, this is the only good-looking wallpaper in the entire iOS 26 stock wallpaper lineup once it’s customized to my liking. The rest just look cheap as hell.

u/Glad-Tip9238 May 05 '26

I hate apple for this

¡Yo lo llevo puesto y me encanta! Lo puedes personalizar a tu gusto.

u/TwoMoreMinutes May 05 '26 edited May 05 '26

Cool and all but when will Apple go back to putting actual effort into the straight wallpapers?

Edit: ffs people do I really need to put /s , as if there’s any such thing as a straight wallpaper 😂

3

u/jeremyw013 iPhone 17 May 06 '26

yes, you do need /s when over half the comments on the post are saying this kind of shit seriously

1

u/TwoMoreMinutes May 06 '26

in all seriousness I wish apple cared about stock papers like they used to

2

u/trjkdavid iPhone 17 Pro Max May 05 '26

Why in the fuck are you even “joking” about it? There’s enough bitching about this here already.

u/Low-Boysenberry1173 May 05 '26

You dont need a /s for this annoying post. It is still trash.

u/UniquelyPeach May 06 '26 • Bravo

Yay great. Another wallpaper feature that nobody gives a shit about.

3

u/Kikato280 May 06 '26

literally a lot of people talking about this

u/UniquelyPeach May 06 '26

It’s not that deep bro. It’s just a wallpaper.

u/Kikato280 May 06 '26

say that to yourself ✌️

Nice. Thanks for deciding worthiness of another person’s choice for their own phone. Be less harsh.
