How to change iPhone wallpaper from a custom photo to a system one?

My current wallpaper is a custom photo, but I want to change it to a system wallpaper—such as one from the “Weather & Astronomy” category. However, I can't find an option to simply switch to it. The only available method seems to be adding a new wallpaper, which forces me to reconfigure all the fonts, colors, and widgets from scratch.


Surely Apple isn’t so stupid that there’s no way to simply change the wallpaper from a custom photo to a system style without rebuilding everything. Can someone please help me figure this out?
