No astronomy category option on wallpaper or for lock screen.

Hello, I have an iPhone 12 Pro with iOS Version 16.1.1 and my lock screen or wallpaper does not have the Astronomy category as an option to select. My options are only People, Emoji and Weather (only). How do I get the astronomy category?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Greetings stevefromrimbey,


If you are having difficulty changing to the desired wallpaper on your iPhone, begin by following the guidance found here:

"Add a new wallpaper for your Lock Screen or Home Screen

  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."


Take care.
