Can I set a Live Photo I took as my wallpaper and have it animate?

I have an iPhone 7 Plus and I got this amazing Live Photo of a cardinal taking flight off of my front porch. I've tried setting it as my lock screen wallpaper and when I hold down on the screen, it just turns black. What's the issue here? Can I even set Live Photo's I've taken as my wallpaper or does it have to be those 3 that came on the phone?

This is what the "geniouses" at the Apple Store get the big bucks for answering. Give them a call.

  • Why can't I set my wallpaper properly? I'm on iPhone 5 and I have the very latest IOS 7 update. And now I come to it again. I want to change my wallpaper but I can't even fit the full picture in there. It's a motivational quote from Dwayne ' The Rock' Johnson. And all you can see is a picture of him and the top line of the quote. Is there any settings to change this?
  • My iOS 7 doesn't have live wallpaper? I have my UDID registered and I downloaded iOS 7 yesterday but in my settings I don't have an option for live wallpapers and when I move my phone around I don't get the 3D look. How do I get them? I have an iPhone 4

  • I took a photo and can't erase it? So my dad let me use his work phone (it's an iPhone) and I took a picture of my self and I didn't know they weren't synced until my sister told me and I don't know the iTunes Password… I don't know what to do
