iOS’ native incoming call interface can be somewhat bland at first glance, and that’s precisely why iOS developerAnimahas released a newjailbreak tweakdubbedIncoming Call LivePhoto (A12 Support).
Just as the name implies, Incoming Call LivePhoto replaces the bland incoming call background with aLive Photoof your choosing, ensuring that you always have something cool to look at when your iPhone starts ringing.
As you’ll see in the screenshot examples above, Incoming Call LivePhoto integrates directly with iOS’ nativewallpaperselection interface, allowing users to tap on a new “Set Incoming” option in addition to the standard “SetLock Screen,” “Set Home Screen,” and “Set Both” options.

The developer provides a Respring button here so that you may save any changes you make to the preference pane.
It’s worth noting that Incoming Call LivePhoto only supports incoming calls via the Lock screen at the time of version 1.0.0, but a future update should change this. Moreover, the tweak only natively supports the iPhone 6s and later, but you may add support for the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and SE with the help of another jailbreak tweak calledLivePhotoForNon3DTouch.
Those interested in trying Incoming Call LivePhoto candownload it for $4.99 from the Packix repositoryin Cydia or Sileo, and while that is a steep asking price, we think the tweak offers some fairly exciting functionality. The tweak supports alljailbrokeniOS 11 and 12 devices that support 3D Touch and Live Photos.
