How can I set two different kinds of wallpapers on my iPhone 16?

For the longest time on my iPhone 13, before iOS 16 came out, I had a photo as my Lock Screen and an iOS 15 dynamic photo as my Home Screen. I’m now trying to set an iOS 18 dynamic photo as my Home Screen and Photo Shuffle as my Lock Screen, but it keeps telling me to either set them as a pair or to use a plain color as my Home Screen. Is there a way to set both of these types of wallpapers at once or has customization actually gone down?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

By "dynamic" photo do you mean a animated photo you took yourself, known as "Live" photos, or do you mean one of the "dynamic" wallpapers added by Apple with iOS 18 that change colors during the day?



For the Live Photo, you can select the "Photos" option in the Home Screen customization section to select one of your photos.


For a Dynamic wallpaper, those can only be set for the Lock Screen.
