Missing stock wallpapers after iOS 16.2 update

Hi Community


After iOS 16.2 update, into wallpaper selection there are no more stock pre-installed (light/dark still) wallpapers. This is true for iPhone 13 serie and less while iPhone 14 serie has it stock ones.

Could be a bug?

Hi alessio_84,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


You can find the stock wallpaper in your Settings app.


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.
The options to add a new wallpaper in iOS 16.
4. If you want, you can customize your wallpaper further. Then tap Add.

You can find these steps in Change the wallpaper on your iPhone.

I confirm there are no more stock (light/dark stills) wallpapers collection after iOS 16.2 update.

I refer to those designed from Apple to match the color of 13 serie.
