I would like to add three lines of (fixed) text onto the lock screen of my iPhone 6s (iOS13). In settings I have not found any way to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

This worked fine on iPhone 6s.

Now I tried the same for my wife's new iPhone 11 Pro. I made a file 1225x2436, as listed in the specs of the phone. The jpg looks fine in Windows Photo Viewer with the text nicely centered. However when I chose this jpg as the lock screen wallpaper, the text is cut off on the right edge.

Do I need to use another size than the screen pixel size?
