How to disable change Wallpaper from Lock Screen

First you go the setting option and go the walpaper option and tap on the walpaper and and choose from gallery any photo you want and select the photo and you can customise the photo and you can change the walpaper easylily

Tap where? Apparently tapping on the screen is how you proceed with customization.

No, tapping on the screen will not trigger this. You need to press and hold.

I always wonder if sometimes some feature gets implemented because some programmer guy thought it would be "cool" while knowing absolutely nothing about how the rest of the world uses the device.

As every release of iOS goes through extensive alpha and beta testing, this seems highly unlikely.

Appreciate the distinctions on where and how. Someone else on a duplicate thread says you have to "tap"on the actual world "customize" in order to get into the customization mode.

Formal user testing would be different from alpha and beta testing: it would involve having naive users attempt to do certain tasks, while observers record their attempts and make note of common missteps and misunderstandings (such as unintentionally bringing up an option and not knowing what to do.)

Beta testing is done mostly by naive users, as over a million normally sign up for the public beta for each release. The initial beta is closed until the more serious bugs are identified, but even that is open to all developers and invited “appleseed” users, and there are easily over 100,000 of those. So by the release date there have been 3 to 6 months of testing by over a million users most of them like you. Why don’t you sign up for the current iOS 17 beta, so you can make contributions→Apple Beta — FAQ

10x a day, I look at my phone and it will have changed the wallpaper!

This is the dumbest idea. Who on earth needs to change wallpaper so often and quickly that they would appreciate this?!

I’ve set my phone to go to camera when I tap the back 3x- why not just do that for wallpaper if you need it so badly? It never happens accidentally.

I guess I should make my screen lock faster? I guess unlocking it another 50x a day could be less irritating…

customise appears every time i pick up my phone every time i pull my phone out of my pocket and anytime i am c carrying my phone. Pretty hard to carry it without touching the screen.

Totally agree despite what know it alls say this is a complete bug and needs to be fixed. Driving me insane. And no nothing to do with the watch. I unpaired from watch and left my watch at home, still having the same issues every time I touch, pick up, hold my phone. 30 times a day at least

I’m sure they know everything and are suffering themselves. They can’t admit their mistakes, the developers took money for this function. You'd have to be blind not to notice this is a problem, but I'll send a request to technical support.

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.

I wasn't referencing tones, I was referencing the change wallpapers from the lock screen feature.

So sorry. I got confused. And, I'm willing to admit I'm a little fixated on the tones topic right now.

Dogcow-Moof wrote:

That's OK, I quite agree, especially when I miss notifications because they now just play a soft tone rather than the good old Tri-tone, and there's no way to change that behavior.

I get most of mine on my watch so, I'm okay with that. I just want my custom tones back!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!! ;-)

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.

Which device am I navigating? Am I holding an iPhone? Is it one of the primary options in Settings? Is this a feature of iOS 17? Searching on iPhone 16.6 ion "iOS",Advanced", "Restrictions" comes up with nada.

Same. I can't find anything like this on the iPhone.

I saw this on a google post and assumed its the latest option but it must be quite old as it doesn't work with the latest update.

Two days ago a method that did work for me was adding a new wallpaper for the Home Screen - that did the trick and the annoying prompt didn't come back.

However after I accepted the latest iOS 16.7 update this morning the annoying feature is back and the old method doesn't work anymore.

So yeah still looking...

I suspect that an "intended feature" that was poorly evaluated and possibly not tested from the user interface standpoint will be way too complicated to ever fix.

Given that Apple does alpha testing, invited beta testing and public beta testing, I think I can safely say it was tested. What that also says is that the people who did the testing didn't hate it as much as you do. Different people do have different preferences.

These semantics don’t matter to a customer. The functionality of this feature, whether it’s a bug or not, is terrible. If this many users are perceiving this “function” as a bug, it means Apple has done a poor job in their product design.
