I can’t edit/change my wallpaper from the lock screen

I have been using the phone for 7 months and I could do it before. When I tried to do it today, it didn't work. maybe I turned off something in the settings, but I don't know what.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Confirm you are still doing it correctly, as outlined in these articles:

You unfortunately do not say exactly where you are having problems doing this. If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

- Read this document about using Screen Time on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch --> Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Tap Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > scroll to Allow Changes.

- If the device is managed (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), contact the IT department that is doing the managing.
