Changing ONLY Lock Screen

What if I only want to change my lock screen? I keep trying all of these things and it changes my Home Screen too. How do I change ONLY my Lock Screen?

iPhone XR, iOS 16

Hey exk25,


We'll be happy to provide you steps to set up the Lock Screen wallpaper rather than the Home Screen wallpaper. When prompted, you'll want to make sure you choose Lock Screen only. Here's how you set up a Lock Screen on your iPhone: Change the wallpaper on your iPhone - Apple Support. The steps have been copied below:


  1. "In the Settings app, tap Wallpaper.
  2. Tap Add New Wallpaper.
  3. Tap Photos, People, or Photo Shuffle to choose your own photo. You can also select a wallpaper from a category like Weather & Astronomy, Emoji, Collections, or Color.
  4. The options to add a new wallpaper in iOS 16.
  5. If you want, you can customize your wallpaper further. Then tap Add."


Cheers.
