3. FAQ

Q. How to set the matrix as the Lock Screen while using a different wallpaper for the Home Screen
You can set a separate Home Screen wallpaper in iPhone Settings > Wallpaper!
Q. Tasks keep disappearing from the Lock Screen / Tasks not appearing on the Lock Screen
This is an OS-level bug from Apple that occurs on iOS 18. Updating to iOS 26 or later will resolve this issue!
Q. Unable to complete the action. (com.apple.extensionKit.errorDomain error 2.) — How to fix
This is an OS-level bug from Apple that occurs on iOS 18. Updating to iOS 26 or later will resolve this issue!
Q. Unable to set a photo on the selected wallpaper — How to fix
This error occurs because image-based wallpapers cannot be applied to the designated wallpaper slot.
Please add a new image-based wallpaper, then select that wallpaper in the Shortcut!
Q. I've completed the automation setup, but the wallpaper still doesn't update
You need to switch your current Lock Screen to the wallpaper you configured in the Shortcut for it to update properly.
Long-press on an empty area of your Lock Screen and switch to the wallpaper you set up in the Shortcut.
Q. My Lock Screen wallpaper looks blurry or low-quality
Please turn off the "Generate Spatial Scene" option when setting up your Lock Screen wallpaper!
When this option is enabled, iOS converts the photo into a 3D effect, which can reduce image quality. Generate Spatial Scene option location
Q. I've finished all the setup, but I can't see my tasks on the lock screen.
The shortcut only applies to the lock screen you selected in step 8. The lock screen you're currently using may be different from the one you chose in step 8.
Long-press your lock screen, then swipe left or right to find the one showing the Taska matrix and select it.
Q. The wallpaper edit screen keeps popping up when the shortcut runs.
This happens because the 'Show Preview' option is enabled in the 'Set Wallpaper' action of your shortcut. Turn it off and the wallpaper will update quietly without any screen transition.
