No, I haven't noticed any bug with the Lock Screen Customization in iOS 26.2. What do you mean by so buggy? Without any context, no one could help you. At a minimum, after you updated your iPhone, did you Force Restart? I do after EVERY iOS update and never have any issues. Do so and see if whatever you're seeing is resolved --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Yes I did a force restart after update. I mean that when I want to add a new wallpaper and I activate Depth Effect, the Clock is over and behind the picture…also when wakeup the screen ( after i applied the new wallpaper ) is not showing up like i applied it. I’ll make a screenshot and post it here. The thing is that the same wallpaper worked fine before, now is not. Thanks

Please do post a screenshot, so we can see what you're seeing. On a personal note, I don't use the depth affect on my lock screen wallpaper. I have a wallpaper which is a dark background which doesn't intrude into the space the clock occupies.
