iOS 18 system-wide customization of lock screen controls

To anyone who has expertise with iOS 18 lock screen controls. I've noticed that each time you set a new wallpaper, you have to set new lock screen controls. I like setting them to Messages and Spotify. Is there a way to set these system-wide instead re-doing it each time I pick a new wallpaper?

And if not, what is the best way to submit a feature request?

Thanks.

IOS 26, Cant customize home screen from lockscreen* once I've added wallpaper *edit: I checked and you can do it in settings! But still, before, you could customize home-screen anytime after doing the initial process of adding a new wallpaper. Now I cant do that anymore. Everytime i press “customize” for an already existing wallpaper it only brings up the wallpaper for lockscreen, with no options to customize the homescreen. If you press done it will be done not go to a second page to customize homescreen. So once you add a wallpaper in ios 26, as far as I am aware, you cant edit the homescreen portion from ur lockscreen anymore

Lock & Home Screen design with different icons and widgets I love the new customization that has been added to the iphone. There is one thing I'm curious about: I'm wondering if there is a way to set specific wallpaper, both lock and home screen, with specific icons and widgets. For example, Let's say I customize my home and lock screen; in addition I organize the widgets. But now I want to change it up. Different wallpapers and widgets. Is there a way save what I put together and then change it to something different? Basically I want to be able to change the wallpapers and the widgets at the same time. Is that possible?

Can iPad have a photo as lock screen wallpaper and Apple wallpaper as home screen wallpaper? On my iPad (iPadOS v18.3.1) if I have a photo for my lock screen wallpaper, the choices for home screen wallpaper are limited to colors, gradients, photos, and blur. The iPadOS 18 wallpapers, for example, are not available as choices. If I choose, “+ Add New Wallpaper” the only choice is to add one of the Apple provided wallpapers as the lock screen wallpaper. In other words, I can have an Apple wallpaper on the lock screen and one of my photos on the home page, but not the other way around. I would like to have the photo on the lock screen and one of Apple’s wallpapers on the home page, but that doesn’t seem to be possible.
