It won’t let me change my wallpaper from the lockscreen

I used to have a 15 pro and recently upgraded to the 16 pro however I noticed that when I try to change my wallpaper from the lockscreen no matter how long I hold down for even when the phones unlocked by Face ID, it still won’t let me change it. I have to keep going into settings to change it if I want to. I’ve tried restarting the phone numerous times but nothing seems to work. I am also on the lastest iOS as well. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

Focus modes can sometimes lock specific wallpapers. If a Focus mode like (Do Not Disturb or Sleep) is active, it might prevent you from editing the wallpaper directly.

Or

Confirm you have no Screen Time restrictions.

Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Ensure “Allowed Apps” and “Customization” are enabled.

Hi, thank you for the advice but I don’t have any focus modes enabled and I checked and I have no restrictions or anything and it still doesn’t appear to work.
