It might seem like a waste of your Mac’s processing power to have a Live Wallpaper (a moving desktop background). Although they may be a bit dangerous, they can also be a lot of fun!

5 Ways to Get a Live Wallpaper for Your Mac: It’s Easier Than You Think

Mac Live Wallpapers used to be difficult to find, but today they are much easier to find.

You can get animated wallpaper desktops in several different ways below, from apps that provide them to making your own.

1. Try the Built-in Dynamic Desktops

System Preferences > Desktop & Screensaver > Desktop
you’ll find a folder called Desktop Pictures under the Apple menu > Dynamic Desktop.

Apple has included a collection of Live Wallpapers with your Mac. In most cases, the image is displayed at different times of the day, but they offer the same image.

Over time, the background will slowly change from day to night versions if you click on one and set the dropdown menu to Dynamic.

When the dropdowns in Light and Dark Desktops are set to Automatic, the wallpapers also change throughout the day.

When you select the Pictures folder under Desktop heading, click the Change picture box and choose the picture you wish to change. Live wallpaper for your MacBook Pro will be a rotating collection of images in that folder.

2. Use Websites for Moving Wallpapers

Free Mac Live Wallpapers can be found on a lot of websites.

3. Use Live Wallpaper Apps

You can download whole apps to decorate your Mac desktop with animated and dynamic wallpaper. You don’t even need to open System Preferences on your Mac if you use live wallpaper apps, such as iWallpaper, which allows you to just click on the Live Wallpaper option and hit Set as wallpaper.

Earth 3D Lite, for instance, allows you to set Mac Live Wallpapers to be slow-moving animations. In addition, some applications offer practical features, such as clocks and dynamic weather forecasts, such as Live Wallpapers HD & Weather.

4. Make Your Own Live Wallpapers

Furthermore, you can also make your own top-quality live wallpapers with the same ease as you do your desktop wallpaper.

Dynamic wallpaper websites and apps, such as Dynamic Wallpaper Club and Dynaper, allow you to upload Live Photos. On your desktop, you can play short videos from your Live Photos.

5. Turn Screensavers Into Live Wallpapers

Quartz animations make up many of the live wallpapers you can use on Macs. If you have a Mac, you probably have some Quartz animations on your machine already: your screensaver. Animated wallpapers can be created pretty quickly with these.

System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver. In the Screen Saver tab, select an animated screen saver.
open Terminal and put following commands :
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background
Now Hit Enter.

The social media giant is working on a feature to allow users to block unwanted nude photos they receive via direct messages – a “nudity protection” filter to block such photos. While the company confirmed the feature was in development, it didn’t say when it would be released. A spokesperson from Meta, Instagram’s parent company, said in a statement that the new features are designed to protect people’s privacy and control how they receive messages.

Instagram Developing ‘Nudity Protection’ Feature to Block Unsolicited Nude Photos in DMs

Nudity protection will be an optional feature on Instagram. A similar feature was launched last year by Instagram called Hidden Words, which automatically filters out abusive direct messages based on keywords and redirects them to a hidden folder.

Alessandro Paluzzi, an app researcher for the Verge, tweeted this week a screenshot of the company’s upcoming message-protection feature. You are protected from potentially nudity-containing photos in chats by the technology on your device. The photos cannot be accessed by Instagram if nudity is detected in a direct message.” And if nudity is detected in a direct message, Instagram will hide the photos unless the user chooses to view them.

According to a study released in April by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, 125 separate examples of image-based sexual abuse were found in direct messages sent to five high-profile women — including Amber Heard, who has faced widespread hate online in the wake of her legal battle with Johnny Depp. According to the organization, Instagram failed to take action on every single instance of image-based sexual abuse reported to the platform within 48 hours.
