Cropping Wallpaper Pic

Any time I pinch to crop my wallpaper picture it resets/reverts to original before I can click "done". I have never been able to crop a pic when setting a wallpaper pic. I sometimes will crop the pic in photos before using as wallpaper but have never been able to crop when adding as wallpaper. It just

jumps to original after I let go of pinching. Why?

iPhone XR, iOS 16

I do have the latest version of software on my iPhone. But it is not related to that. This has been a problem for me on all iPhones I’ve had. I can crop pictures in the photos app all day long. I use it a lot. But when I am updating the wallpaper and at the bottom it says perspective or resize by pinching, it will not hold after I let go of pinching it. It snaps back to where it was. I must be doing something wrong. I’ve never been able to figure it out.
