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

That's right. When you press on the lock screen after you've set a wallpaper for it, you can customize the lock screen wallpaper. To customize the home screen wallpaper after adding one, you press on your home screen, the apps jiggle and you'll see an Edit button at the top left of the screen. Tap Edit, then choose Customize from the options list.
