watchlist - disclaimer - browse newsgroups Newsgroup .duplicates Coming recently from Android, I was missing this feature.Browse newsgroup .duplicatesī basic search - advanced search - F.A.Q. Great script! Really glad that JellyTheBear took the time to make it, and share it with us. 4:00a, that it repeats Daily, press "Next", press "Add Action", type "shortcuts" (without quotes) in search, select "run shortcut", press "Shortcut", and select "Bing Wallpaper". Click on the "Automation" button in Shortcuts app, press "+", select "Create Personal Automation", select "Time of Day", set the appropriate time, e.g. Using my phone as an example, the dimensions for portrait mode are 414x896 pt and 828x1792 px, hence where I got my values for the height points and width pixels for the script.įor the uninitiated, setting up an automatic task is pretty easy. If you're having trouble displaying the wallpaper on other devices, check here for dimensions. After the change, image looks as it should. Had to change "Screen height in points" to 896, and "resize image to Auto Width x 1792", because I was getting an error message that the image was too big. 1.3 for best results, set default region to International ("ROW").
BINGWALLPAPER 1.2 UPDATE
Corrections for 6s-SE2 and SE were already implemented in Update 1.Ĭhanged the source for higher resolution images (thanks to /u/DrStrangelove11), added landscape orientation for iPads, added notification with subject and author.Ĭhanged source back to one from ver. Just don’t forget to turn off “ask before running”.Īdded correction for XR/11 screen dimensions, so now there should be no error that the image is too large. Thanks to /u/x_iNFLiCTiON for reminding me that you actually can trigger the automation at selected time (since iOS 14). For better readability the variables are now named.
BINGWALLPAPER 1.2 CODE
And I put the localization code in separate action and set it to en-US as default. I also added branching for old iPhones so now newer models get the max resolution and the old ones still work. I changed resolution of the downloaded Bing image to 1080x1920, which is better for iPhones and iPads (thanks to /u/arthas_TLK).
If you find any bugs, let me know in the comments.
For daily automation, I suggest to launch the shortcut with time trigger (see Update 1.1). The default International Bing localization has new image at 9 in the morning. Localized versions of Bing have different update times and sometimes different photos too. You can change the Bing region in the textbox to your location (from ROW to en-us for example ROW means Rest Of the World, International version).
BINGWALLPAPER 1.2 FULL
On iPad you get the original full resolution photo. My version doesn’t save the image to photo gallery and crops it to your screen ratio while keeping the original height. I have an iPhone 6s and the other shortcuts did not work for me due to image resolution or did weird crops.
Hey, here is my take on the Bing wallpaper shortcut.
