DISABLE Change Wallpaper from Lock Screen iOS 16.1

So apparently, I’m touching the Lock Screen too much/too long.

about wallpaper... How do I change only the wallpaper? I'd like to leave the lock screen as it is. Because my lock screen is the iPhone's default high-definition lock screen that I've maintained for a long time...

There is no fix other than switching to Android. This is an Apple "feature" and they put it in iOS 17 too. Apple doesn't care what features you want. They give you the features they think you should want. (Like no physical SIM card capability.) I'm just about done with it.

That has been Apple's philosophy pretty much from day one. People were up in arms when they removed SCSI ports, floppy drives, and optical drives. There were a lot of people who hated the Mac graphical user interface and wished Apple would have stayed with the older operating system. And yet, enough people think Apple providing the right product that they're doing well.

You, however, should choose the tool that best meets your needs.
