Yes and no. Live Wallpapers as you know them, where you hold the screen and the image moves, are unfortunately no longer available in iOS 16. A long press on the lock screen will now make your iPhone go into Lockscreen Customize mode.


There are some "moving" pre-installed Wallpapers, such as Weather & Astronomy or Collections. Long Press on your Lock Screen and tap the blue "+" in the bottom right corner and see what's available.
