How to make the home screen background completely black???

Easy as finding one on the Internet , downloading it to your phone, and changing the wallpaper.



You may want one with a touch of light in one corner...lots to choose from.

 

Download a plain black wallpaper from the Internet?

 

Zedge is the App Store app you need.....

 

On your pc/mac use any Paint type of program to make a 1334x750 solid black jpg. Email it to yourself, or OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.

 

There's a faster way.

Lay your phone down with the camera down (flash off) in a dark room. Take a pic.

Black background straight to your camera roll.

 

Place your finger over the camera sensor and take a picture...

 

The anal-retentive in me had to test this, in case of noise in the camera photo, etc. I can't tell the two images apart.

Good tip!

I like the black home screen look. Makes me kinda miss the original iPhone.

 

Why not?

I've seen many nuances - a leather textured one, a wood grain one, etc.

Interesting that this app requires iOS 9.2 or higher ...makes one wonder why?
