Hi there CrushNugget,


To set a different wallpaper on your Home Screen from your Lock Screen. The steps outlined here walk you through how to do this: Change the wallpaper on iPhone


When setting your Home Screen, ensure you select 'Customize' underneath the right option of Settings > Wallpaper. There you should be able to set any Dynamic photo available as your Home Screen background.


As far as personalizing your Lock Screen, this shows how this can be done: Personalize your iPhone Lock Screen


If you are trying to accomplish something else, please provide more details so we can continue to assist.


Cheers!

I appreciate the response, however I have learned that the functionality I'm looking for simply isn't available in iOS 16. If I set my lock screen to one of my own pictures from photos, then my only options for customizing the home screen are "Pair" (which mirrors the lock screen), "Color" (which is a solid color), "Gradient" (which is a gradient of 2 colors), or "Photos" (which is another picture).


What I'm looking for instead for the Home Screen is one of the "Collections" wallpapers that you are currently only able to choose for the Lock Screen. In past versions of iOS we were not limited like this, so it is a massive bummer to see functionality be taken away.
