You may be able to make your wallpaper move when you change the viewing angle of your screen by turning on Perspective Zoom when you choose new wallpaper. To turn on the Perspective Zoom option for wallpaper you’ve already set, go to Settings > Wallpaper, tap the image of the Lock screen or Home screen, then tap Perspective.
Note: The Perspective Zoom option doesn’t appear for all wallpaper choices, and it doesn’t appear if Reduce Motion (in Accessibility settings) is turned on. See Reduce or stop the motion of screen elements on iPad.
