How to disable change Wallpaper from Lock Screen

when you touch and hold the Lock Screen it lets you customize your wallpaper. BUT the problem is that it’s way too easy to enter this mode by just holding your phone!!


my phone is constantly entering the customize Lock Screen mode when I don’t want it to. We need a way to disable the “touch + hold Lock Screen” to change wallpaper feature. Let us change it in settings. NOT every darn time we accidentally touch the Lock Screen for more than a millisecond. Thank you!

Not a bug - it's working as designed.

If it were working as designed, purchasing a new tone from the iTunes Store should work. But it doesn't, at least not for me. It shows as an option when changing the text tone (and some, though not all, of my previously purchased tones ARE and option) but, once you purchase the tone, tell the iTunes Store to assign it to a contact, nothing happens.


So, while I'm willing to accept that not allowing custom tones is intentional, I'm not so sure about the inability to add tones purchased directly from the store.

When u have more than one option as wallpaper it changes it sometimes and I hate it cause it messes up my background color which messes me up finding certain apps in a hurry and I honestly don’t have time to keep going back to settings to change it back to the original. Why can’t Apple just give us a toggle button to turn the feature off. Simple! I’ve gone to give feedback numerous times already.
