Wallpapers problem

Why don’t the wallpapers show up on the blocked screen? I set them up correctly but they only can be seen on the screen with apps.

iPhone 11 Pro

Hello vena_coter,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with your Lock Screen wallpaper. Try the steps here from the article that you viewed prior to posting to set a wallpaper for the Lock Screen: Change the wallpaper on your iPhone - Apple Support


"Change your wallpaper from the Lock Screen

  1. Make sure that you previously set up Face ID on your iPhone. To change your wallpaper from the Lock Screen, Face ID must clearly see your eyes and the areas around them.
  2. On the Lock Screen, touch and hold your Lock Screen to open your wallpaper gallery.
  3. To select a wallpaper you already created, swipe left and right. To add a new wallpaper, tap the Add button .
  4. You can rotate between wallpapers you create from the Lock Screen in iOS 16.

From the Lock Screen wallpaper options, you can also tap the Focus button to link a Focus to a specific wallpaper, customize existing wallpapers, or swipe up on a wallpaper and tap to delete it.

If you can't use Face ID to change your Lock Screen, touch and hold your Lock Screen until the Customize button appears. If the Customize button doesn’t appear, touch and hold the Lock Screen again, then enter your passcode. "


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
