How to disable change Wallpaper from Lock Screen

In these days of AI, it seems "odd" that a website that has "apple.com" in its address wouldn't be monitored by apple employees. Where is there a better source of feedback about user interfaces? Maybe AI algorithms could also tackle the problem of software just being too complex for anyone to understand it, let alone fix bugs.

I don't think it's "odd". There is too much "noise" to make it "worthwhile" to look for "feedback".

That's why Apple has the feedback portal.

If they haven't done anything about this you can be sure it was introduced for a reason which is far outweighs our frustrations- what that is for people who know the reason can't say and certainly not on this forum and those who don't know never will be able to.

Not true. With the release of watchOS 10, Apple removed the ability to change watch faces just by swiping. Though there were many of us who thought this was great, there were a lot of people who didn't. And they submitted a lot of feedback. And added the option to change the behavior back to the way it used to work. This is but the most recent of many examples of changes made due to feedback.

Apple always reads feedback. That doesn't mean they always give you what you want. But, you will definitely not get what you want if you don't tell Apple you want it. In the time it took you to post here, you could have posted feedback. Would it have allowed the same satisfying feeling of righteous indignation? No. But it might have done some more substantive good.

The only thing you can do, is to disable "Tap to Wake". Go to "Accessibility" then "Touch" then "Tape to Wake" and disable it.

I know it isn't a solution at all. You'd then need to press the side button hard to light up your screen and do your things. But I can tell you, it fundamentally changed my life and I am now a happy man.

the amount of nonsense apple put on the lock is crazy every time I take my phone out of my pocket something has activated without me doing anything, it’s like this billion dollar company don’t listen to customers anymore

I’ve never known a power button to wear out.

No, happens to me & I don't have Apple Watch

I've done all that is described here to no avail - it jumps to customizing wallpaper nearly immediately. So I deleted all wallpapers except one I am using. Apple cannot get me in this configuration.

This "feature" clearly qualifies as a bug. I assume this will addressed in a future update.

But I wonder how it passed QC

Drives me INSANE! STILL NO FIX ?!

Exactly where do you see this on an iPhone?

Not a bug - it's working as designed.

Your best bet is to, as mentioned, submit feedback and suggest Apple include a way to turn it off in a future release.

Feedback - iPhone - Apple

It's so annoying. Happens multiple times a day! I just left feedback on the Apple site. Product Feedback - Apple
