How to delete stock wallpapers?

Dear all,


I noticed i received LGBT wallpapers to my iPhone with iOS 13 beta.


In order to keep my childrens away and in due to our religious beliefs i would like to not have these symbols on my cellphone in any matter.


Of course i understand its acceptable for many people - everyone is living as they like - but not for us and i would like to remove this kind of content from our phones.


How can i simply remove these wallpapers, unfortunately i not found an options to delete. Could You help?

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

Hi again, i am not anti-LGBT, i really don't mind people of different orientation or religious, it is not touching me what people are doing in their own beds or life - its their life or beds, surely not mine :)

I am interested only in content on 'my' and my family phones and our beliefs.


Thank You for url to feedback i will ask for 'optionality' feature.

Thank You for answer,


Yes, thats why i would like to remove it. It may coextist in next house or flat, but i would like to not have it in my phone.

We're very religious people and childrens know its related to LGBT and asked me to remove that from their device.


I don't mind stock wallpapers but these one may be discussable for many people, i don't mind they're delivered - its company value but i would like to have them as option to remove. I think a choice is a good option.


How can i report that issue to the Apple?

You cannot remove these stock wallpapers.

For most cases, your children will not go through the settings and, even if they did, they would probably associate the rainbow with more that the LGBT community.


I don’t wish to comment on your beliefs, but in the wider world they will encounter people of LGBT backgrounds and will have to coexist with them, even if you don’t believe it is correct. They will make their own mind up when they grow up.
