Why does Apple think we have nothing better to do than to change our wall paper everyday. It’s annoying. Is it because that want us to wear out our phone sooner or is the a spy function imbedded .
Windows, Windows 6
And why exactly do you think they want you to change your wallpaper everyday?
Just because the option exists, doesn't mean you have to use it.
How does changing a wallpaper equate to there being a spy function?
Why would changing a wallpaper wear out a phone?
Also, unless you are pressing down on the screen, you should not even get the option to change it. If you are doing something to bring up the option, why is Apple in any way responsible for that? Stop pressing down on the screen, and you won't get the option to change it. If you do get it, you are free to not change, and entirely ignore it.

Turning off Focus does not turn off the ability to change the wallpaper from the lock screen. It just stops any automatic changes based on Focus from occurring.
You can't eliminate the ability to change the wallpaper from the lock screen.
Yes, Apple changed the way you customize wallpaper. You now have the option of changing it through the Lock Screen.

But the only way your wallpaper will change automatically is if you have it set to change with different Focus options.

Why do you need to be pressing down on the screen while it is locked?
What does "pressing down on the screen" even mean? Does it include tapping and poking? Where on the screen? Anywhere? In a specific place? I have no idea what I'm doing that causes this to happen, so I can't stop doing it.
You are pressing and holding on the screen while the phone is locked.
This is a setting.
Technically, it's not a setting. It's a feature. You can certainly let Apple know you don't like this feature here:
I’ve been using this phone for three years and Not pressing the screen until this customize option pops up on its own. I’m not the only one this is happening too since a recent update. It takes out my wallpaper and replaces it with a planet.
One of my problems was not knowing what the Lock Screen was! I know I know. I finally looked it up and the wall paper picture of my dogs on the lock screen is what I want. It's the home screen that decided to make stuff up. I deactivated Focus and the home screen and it's now staying as a solid green instead of the same as the the lock screen image. That's ok. I can live with that. Thank you for your time and hopefully this will also help some other.

When it comes up I don't know how to avoid continuing with the "option" or how to avoid accidentally getting rid of the one lock screen photo that I do use.
This is a setting. It should not come up without the user's intention. Apple is responsible for making settings something that you choose to do (in fact, usually you have to use the Search to find out where the heck most
That was awhile ago and I don't know what I meant about pressing down. But I appreciate your time. I deleted the Focus app and it no longer wasting my time by changing my wall paper.Now my two beautiful dogs are always there even though one has crossed the rainbow.

Focus is not an app you can delete so I don't really understand what you're talking about. But, as long as you've gotten things working the way you want, that's all that matters.
Thank you. That makes sense. But how do I un set it? I just found FOCUS for the first time in settings and turned it off but I get the same junk on my wallpaper
I'm glad you finally got it working to your satisfaction.
I hate this feature. Upon researching for a resolution, I find that only Apple can fix it since they caused the F-bomb to begin with. Millions hate it but I guess it pleases the creator.
You are correct but it can be turned off. So far it's working for me.

Yes, you can turn it off, an entirely different thing. Glad to hear it's working for you.
