Unfortunately, this feature was removed due to a security flaw found in that very action. It was removed out before the 13.1 beta was even out. It allowed a user to set any kind of a file as a background (wav, zip, exe, etc) thus putting iPhones into a boot loop whereas they wouldn’t start. I was sad to see this feature go. I’m sure it might make a return at some point (I’m looking at you panoramic wallpaper!). This is Apple we’re talking about after all 🙃
