I have IPhone XR. I want to change Home Screen wallpaper but leave Lock Screen untouched. The Lock Screen photo is very sentimental and my only copy.

It's very easy:

Open Settings
Look for Wallpaper and tap it
You'll see your lock screen on left, your home page on the right
Tap customize on the home screen wallpaper
Tap the Photo button on the bottom of the screen
Tap the Photo over a photo on the left bottom, then find the photo you want to use as home screen wallpaper

You will have changed your Home Screen Wallpaper and your Lock Screen Wallpaper will not be changed
