I was wondering if it was possible to set the IPhone's background image from an App. I have an image which is a UIImageView. Like when the phone is locked theres the "wallpaper background image." Is there a way to make a button which can set the wallpaper of the phone as my UIImageView?

A:
In your background view (you might have to drag an IBOutlet to it) say like:
imageView.bounds = view.bounds;
imageView.hidden = YES;
[view addSubview:imageView];
Then when your button is pressed (possibly an IBAction) do this to turn the background on and off.
if (imageView.hidden){
imageView.hidden = NO;
}else{
imageView.hidden = YES;
}

I'm sorry I mean like the Wallpaper on the iphone, like when the phone is locked and you see a custom wallpaper, I can adjust the question to reflect this

I adjusted my google search to "wallpaper" terminology and I found this:

It appears this is only possible on a jailbroken iphone.
