We’re talking about the iPhone Photo Shuffle.

This lets you pre-select a load of images that can shuffle as your Lock Screen.

You can set it up to shuffle on tap, on wake, or in time intervals.

First you’ll need to make sure you’re using iOS 16, which came out in September and included loads of new iPhone hacks.

To check if you’ve got it, go to Apple Settings > General > Software Update.

Once you’ve got iOS 16 installed, go to your iPhone Lock Screen.

Wake it up and then use either Face ID or Touch ID to unlock it.

Now press and hold on the Lock Screen, which should activate the wallpaper gallery.

This will let you set a shuffle frequency.

You can choose from Daily, Hourly, On Wake or On Tap.

Finally tap Done in the top-right corner, and then select your Photo Shuffle wallpaper.

You can customise the wallpaper with different images at any time.
