How To Shuffle iPhone Lockscreen Wallpaper in iOS 7 Every Time You Lock Your iPhone

It's pretty boring to see the same wallpaper in your iPhone every time you unlock the screen, and if you have a Jailbreaked iPhone with iOS 7,Thanks to a new tweak called shufflr, though, your iOS 7 lock screen’s wallpaper is switched to a new image every time you lock your device, lessening the likelihood of you getting bored with the same look.

Shuffle iPhone Lockscreen Wallpaper with shufflr

Shufflr can  Shuffle iPhone Lockscreen Wallpaper every time you lock your iPhone, very much like the shuffle feature of a music player, throwing up a different random delight each time you lock your device. It doesn’t change the homescreen/springboard wallpaper though so what you selected for the homescreen remains the same. With Shufflr installed and enabled, the photos from your camera roll get chosen at random and applied as the wallpaper for the lockscreen.

There are, as of now, two options in Shufflr.

  • There’s a kill switch to enable/disable Shufflr without a respring (thankfully).

  • Then, there’s a randomizer switch which will shuffle through the camera roll instead of just going through sequentially.


Although shufflr is already a solid tweak and does exactly as it purports, I would love to see it expanded a little. It would be nice, for example, to be able to make a folder of images specifically tailored for the purpose of wallpapers, and select that rather than the broad Camera Roll folder.

Shufflr is $1.49 on the BigBoss repo and I feel that it’s a tad costly too. But of course, with features added, it might just seem a decent price tag. (although $0.99 is still a better one for a lockscreen wallpaper randomizer).

There’s a Cydget add-on here which aims to do this. But it involves a lot of work and doesn’t really cycle through an album from the Photos app. But give it a try if you want to tinker around.
