How do I edit/delete wallpaper themes?

After choosing a ‘Featured’ image to a wallpaper theme, I’m not able to change it to a different image now. And there isn’t an option to delete the theme.

Hey Cody_R_E,


We see you reviewed this great article: Change the wallpaper on your iPhone. The steps below should help:


  • "Go to Settings  > Wallpaper, then tap Add New Wallpaper.
  • The wallpaper gallery appears.
  • Do one of the following: 
    • Tap a button at the top of the wallpaper gallery—for example, Photos, People, Photo Shuffle, Emoji, or Weather—to design your wallpaper with a photo, an emoji pattern, a picture of your local weather, and more.
    • Tap a wallpaper option in one of the categories—for example, Featured, Suggested Photos, or Photo Shuffle.
  • To customize a photo on your wallpaper, see Customize your Lock Screen photo.
  • Tap Add, then do one of the following:
    • Choose whether to use the wallpaper on both the Lock Screen and Home Screen: Tap Set as Wallpaper Pair.
    • Make further changes to the Home Screen: Tap Customize Home Screen. Tap a color to change the wallpaper color, tap  to use a custom photo, or select Blur to blur the wallpaper so the apps stand out."


After following those steps, the wallpaper you just created should now be the current one. For future reference you can also view the steps in the section labeled "Change the wallpaper" here: Change the wallpaper on iPhone.


Take are.

Hello Cody_R_E,


Welcome back to Apple Support Communities!

We understand you're taking the proper steps but the issue remains unless you delete the wallpaper.

Let’s check for any pending iOS updates, which can help make sure the software is working as expected. This Apple Support page has the full steps to help get those updates installed: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If the issue continues once you're using the latest iOS, please reach out to an Apple Support Advisor for further assistance: Get Support

We hope this helps to resolve the software issue and get the wallpaper working correctly again.

Cheers!
