No parallax effect, didn’t turn it off.

I noticed that the parallax effect is gone from the home screen on my phone, regardless of wallpaper. Restart doesn’t help — not does full restore (from iTunes). I didn’t turn it off in Accessibility, and I toggled it to make sure. I’m stumped. Any ideas?

Do you have reduce motion turned on?

Also it’s disabled if Low Power Mode is active.

In Wallpapers, it was set to Live and not Perspective. I didn’t realize that turns off parallax!

It appears to be a bug that wasn’t fixed since beta 1 of iOS 12. All Live Wallpapers don’t have perspective zoom on and you have to tap ‘perspective’ for it to work, but you lose the Live Photo’s effects.
