iOS and iPadOS have a cute little feature that allows you to use emojis as your Lock Screen and Home Screen wallpaper. So, if there is a specific emoji or set of emojis you love, you can easily make a wallpaper out of those with various colors and patterns.

1) Open the Settings app and tap Wallpaper.
2) Tap Add New Wallpaper.
