Federico Vitticci over at [Macstories](https://www.macstories.net) has created some of the [best iOS shortcuts](https://www.appsntips.com/home/best-siri-shortcuts-ios/) for the Shortcuts app on iPhone. I use his iPhone frame generator shortcut every day to get work done. His latest creation is a shortcut that automatically generates solid and gradient color [wallpapers for iPhone](https://www.appsntips.com/home/iphone-wallpaper-apps/) and iPad. For people like me who prefer gradient wallpapers over others as they not only look good but also offer better visibility, this is a nice shortcut to have. If you also prefer it, here is how you can install the WallCreator shortcut and generate wallpapers for your iPhone and iPad.

The WallCreator shortcut can either generate a solid or a gradient wallpaper. You can choose the color you want by entering [Hex Code](https://htmlcolorcodes.com/) or [English Name](https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors%5Fbritish.asp) of color, or you can let the shortcut generate random wallpaper for you. Here, first, we will cover the installation and then see its usage.

**Note:* The Shortcuts app should be pre-installed on your iPhone, if you cannot find it, learn [how to reinstall Shortcut app on iPhone](https://www.appsntips.com/learn/how-to-install-shortcuts-app-in-ios-13-after-deleting-it/) by clicking on the link.*

Tapping on the first option will generate a wallpaper with a random solid color. The second will generate a linear gradient wallpaper with a random color.
