Home Screen/Lock Screen

With the latest update, the Lock Screen/home screen isn’t working. When I try to change the Home Screen, it changes the Lock Screen. When I try to “pinch” to position pic, it doesn’t work. Suggestions?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Hello Confuscious-Im-knot,


What are you trying to change on the Home screen? The wallpaper? If so, go to Settings > Wallpaper, then select Customize on the Home screen side (the one on the right) If you select the Customize button on the left, that will change the lock screen.


If you're unable to resize the picture you're selecting, make sure the "depth effect" setting is not turned on. When you're on the Customize page and have chosen your picture, press the options button (circle with 3 dots in the bottom left) and see if the Depth Effect option shows. If it does, make sure it is turned off.


Change the wallpaper on your iPhone


Cheers!
