Your lock screen updates within a few seconds. Only the lock screen changes; your home screen stays the same.

1. Wake your device and unlock it with Face ID or Touch ID, but stay on the lock screen.
2. Touch and hold an empty part of the lock screen, then tap Customize.
3. Tap the widget box: just under the clock on iOS 17 and 18, near the bottom of the screen on iOS 26.
4. Find Without Price and tap the Verse widget.
5. Tap Done.

The widget needs iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. The app also shows these steps under Add the lock screen widget.

Apple doesn't let apps change your wallpaper, so you set it yourself. It takes about a minute.

1. In the app, choose a background and tap Save today's wallpaper to Photos.
2. On the lock screen, touch and hold, tap the + button, then Photos.
3. Pick the verse picture. Don't pinch or move it; the verse is already where you chose in the app.
4. Tap Add.

To get a new verse every morning by itself, set up the Shortcuts automation below.

Use Apple's free Shortcuts app. First set a saved verse picture as your lock screen wallpaper once (see the question above). Shortcuts can only change a wallpaper made from a photo.

1. Open Shortcuts, tap Automation, then New Automation.
2. Tap Time of Day. Pick a time, such as 6:00 AM. Keep Daily, choose Run Immediately, and tap Next.
3. Tap Create New Shortcut. (On iOS 17 and 18: New Blank Automation, then Add Action.)
4. Search for Without Price and tap Get Today's Wallpaper.
5. Search for Wallpaper and tap Set Wallpaper Photo.
6. In that action, tap Wallpaper and choose your verse wallpaper. To keep your home screen, tap Lock Screen and Home Screen and untick Home Screen.
7. Tap the small arrow on the action and turn off Show Preview and Crop to Subject.
8. Tap the check mark in the top corner.

Each morning your lock screen gets the new verse, in the translation, background and position you chose in the app. Needs iOS 17 or later. The app shows the same steps under How to set it, and change it every day.

On the app's main screen, tap BSB, KJV, WEB or ASV. The iPhone and iPad widget follows your choice right away. On Android, tap Update my lock screen now to see it immediately, or it will appear with the next daily update.

Once a day at midnight, unless you choose Every hour under New verse in the app. The iPhone and iPad widget changes right on time. The Android lock screen changes within about an hour after midnight, or within about 15 minutes of each hour with Every hour (Every hour arrives on Android with version 1.1). A wallpaper set by the Shortcuts automation changes once a day, at the time you picked. Everyone with the same setting sees the same verse at the same time, so you can share it with family and friends.

1. Open the app and check that Put a new verse on my lock screen every day is on.
2. Tap Update my lock screen now, then lock and wake your phone.
3. Samsung: features like "Dynamic Lock Screen" can replace the wallpaper. In Settings, search for Wallpaper services and choose None.
4. Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO: turn off "Wallpaper carousel" or "Glance" in your lock screen settings.

Every phone puts its clock, fingerprint icon, and shortcuts in different places. In the app, under Verse position, choose Top, Upper, Lower, or Bottom to move the verse to a clear spot. The preview shows the change, and on Android your lock screen updates in a few seconds.

Some phones pause apps in the background to save battery. Go to Settings > Apps > Without Price > Battery and choose Unrestricted (the name varies by phone). Opening the app also updates the verse right away.

• Lock screen widgets need iOS or iPadOS 17 or later.
• Open the app once after installing it, then try again.
• If it still doesn't appear, restart your device.

Lock screen widgets are small, so longer verses are shortened. Open the app to read the whole verse, or use the full-screen wallpaper instead.

Android: turn off Put a new verse on my lock screen every day. The current picture stays on your lock screen until you choose a different wallpaper in your phone's Settings.

iPhone and iPad: customize the lock screen and remove the widget, or choose a different wallpaper.

No. There's no account, no ads, and no tracking, and every verse is built into the app. On Android the app doesn't even have permission to use the internet. See the privacy policy for details.

Android's built-in tool for background tasks needs them so the verse keeps changing after your phone restarts. None of them can send data anywhere. The privacy policy explains each one.

No. Once a day it draws one picture and sets it as your lock screen, which takes a moment. The rest of the time it does nothing.
