This results in a cool effect where the main background image covers part of the clock on the lock screen in an overlapping pattern, while the rest of the background image appears behind the clock. With the depth effect, the wallpaper interactively wraps around the iOS clock instead of just being under the clock as in previous iOS versions. Below we have mentioned the steps to Use Depth Effect on iPhone.

How to Use Depth Effect on an iPhone

The effect only works when there are no widgets on the screen. So you will have to sacrifice your widgets if you want to use the depth effect.

Final Words

The depth effect splits the lock screen background into multiple layers so that part of the background image appears dominantly above the lock screen clock while the rest remains below. This effect requires that there are elements from a background image that iOS can clearly distinguish using depth information. iOS can only activate the depth effect if a subject stands out clearly from the rest of the lock screen background. This background should be applied so that the upper part of the subject is placed in and around the lower half of the lock screen clock.
