iPhone wallpaper changer

iPhone wallpaper changer

I have some pictures that I'd like to have as wallpaper, and I'd like to see different one daily. I schedule it to change in the morning, repeats daily, and the photos selected at random.

I'm aware of there is the wallpaper photo shuffle, but I can't trigger that manually and I'm not sure when exactly it changes. Also this is an exercise to keep my mind sharp on shortcuts.

  1. I created an iPhone Wallpaper album, I put the photos I like in that album.

  2. Here's the shortcut, I set it to Wallpaper 1 for mine. Set the shortcut permission so it can run when locked.

Set permission

After that, I put an automation to run this shortcut, just about sunrise.

On the lock screen, I put a run shortcut on the bottom left so I can change it while I'm on the lock screen

Probably easier to do it from Settings - > Wallpaper for most people, but I like to tinker with this.

Tap map keys

After using swiftkey for some time this is my tap map. When the keys get small does this mean I'm more accurate or worse when tapping that particular key?
The numbers aren't used very often but I do tap them from time to time.

Unusual characters/numbers in iMessage compose screen

Running 17PM 26.6.

When typing up a new iMessage, in the to field, some name/numbers show up, not sure where this came from. It’s not email or phone number either, in my example is Office12345678, I know it’s not something I messaged before, it’s not a valid email or phone either.
Sometimes it shows up as phone_xyz

When tapping the î iMessage would crash, so I can’t remove it from the suggestion either. I’m not using iCloud sync for iMessage so this eliminates the possibility of getting those addressee from another device. I don't know who these people or what, I never text them nor they are in my address book.

is there a way to clear this recent list entirely?

I I put a screen record on this, not sure how to clear these suggested entries. There's no siri suggestion reset is there?

Voice typing, tap to go back

New to SwiftKey using iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26.6 & SwiftKey 4.3.4.
When using mic to dictate, it goes to the SwiftKey app / setting with blank screen, and tap here to go back. It seems to work when I screen record this, but sometimes the mic just stuck, not really sure if this feature isn’t really supported or not 100% working.
But when it does, is there a config so it doesn’t do the screen switching?

Butane Inserts

I switched all the inserts to butane ones because my Zippo sometimes ran out of fuel. I do like the usual sparks and flame, but got annoyed when it’s out of gas lol.

I’m not a smoker, so I don’t use it frequently, maybe every other day or so. I have them just to have, great fidget gadgets.

The polished chrome I got it maybe over 20 years ago, engraved with my name on it. The brushed chrome is from Walmart; it was the combo regular insert I got a couple of weeks ago to try out the butane inserts. I like it, no issues so I replaced all of them.
The black one I got from REI some years ago, and the brushed brass 1941 replica from Amazon.
The fit is a bit loose on the 1941 replica for the butane inserts, but it doesn’t fall off.

These are great, seems to be working fine for me.

Ratings in Map

is ratings feature still available & being developed? I can see it but I can't leave any ratings. I used to be able to tap on the thumbs up/down but this is no longer available to me. I haven't left ratings for sometime I kind of forget about it but want to give a thumbs up for a business.

screenshot for example, on ios 26.5.2.
