My iPhone keeps changing the wallpaper

Thank you! I’ve played around a lot with all the solutions. Now it’s only happening when I charge it. Pretty much every time I plug it in it changes when open it back up. It’s still sucks but at least it’s only 1 or 2 times a day. No longer constant.

It’s the most irritating part of this smart phone. It’s too smart, and does things on its own without any human contact. Apple need to sort this glitch out as I’m constantly having to revert back to my chosen wallpaper theme.

Does apple read these posts? Do they still think these features should be continued after seeing how many people are so frustrated by them. Do the software coders actually use the products they design? My experience is that with each new layer of sophistication, these devices get more and more goofy and do more and more silly things. I've begun to think trying some non-apple devices might be the way to go, but then I think the other manufacturer's coders probably also make overly sophisticated crazy stuff too. I'm hoping apple develops some common sense and reduces the amount of unwanted frustrating features or I will just have to actually make the jump to see for myself if another company sees the folly that apple evidently doesn't.

The only Apple employees regularly reading these posts are the Hosts. They only check to make sure everyone conforms to the Terms of Use. They are not product developers or engineers.

If you want Apple to know your thoughts on the matter, use the Feedback page:

Hey everybody this reply from Eric Ullman is a really good solution and you will realize it is a new functionality really interesting iOS 16 offers now you can use a different set of apps and screens depending on your activities. Awesome and thanks @eric ullman

Help needed please. Just upgraded to the 15 pro max and I’ve just had it for 2 days and ready to go back to my 13.

Both phones have the current update so I’m good. BUT!!!! Why does the 15 keep changing the home and back ground screen to pictures that I don’t want and have no idea how it got on the phone. Once I go back and change it then put it as “set as current” it goes back to what every the phone wants to do AND IT goes straight to “Do not disturb” I changed all of the devices to not share settings.

Please someone help me to understand why this keeps happening. (I ain’t that old that I can’t fix it)😩

Have only just joined Apple Communities - have tried to find a concise answer through the past history of this thread - if anyone can help please.. so how do you replicate your ‘normal’ screen/wallpaper setup to carry over to the night mode if you switch to night-time/focus mode?

This whole wallpaper choices things is just technical ‘noise and confusion’

I’m all for updates/enhances/shortcuts but please give the consumer a transparent choice - maybe it was in the super, super, super fine print of an IOS update, but why interfere with a personal setup?

Thanks kindly for any current info anyone can provide

My wall paper was fine, just what I had chosen. Now it does not respond to my request for it to remain the same! Why does Apple have to fix something that doesn’t need fixing? Why not keep your customers happy???

Strong language from me here…. I hate this! I hate that they won’t leave my wallpaper alone on my iPhone nor my Apple Watch! Nobody asked them to do this and there is NO option to make it STOP 🛑! Apple!!!! Stop this now on the next iOS push please and thank you.

Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

I have the same issue with the Lock Screen reverting back to the original after I change it.

Thank you! this was exactly what happened to me. I must have done this while checking out the options for the new features. Again, thank you. You have saved my sanity.

Never would have thought to do that if you hadn’t mentioned it. Thank you!

Me too! It's SO annoying. How can I change it back?

Me too
