How do you ONLY update the Lock Screen or Home Screen? Why am I forced to do both now??? It takes longer too and erased my Home Screen image!!!

This change came with the new update. I hate it. Someone please tel me I can change this somewhere in settings.


I don’t want my phone to erase my Home Screen image when I change my Lock Screen.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hello.


First make sure you are updated to iOS 16.1, as that update makes it much easier to customize only the home screen. Here's an article for that: https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-set-a-different-home-screen-wallpaper-in-ios/#:~:text=Apple%20made%20it%20easier%20in,open%20the%20lock%20screen%20picker.


Hope this helps.
