Lock screen editing

Is there a way to turn OFF the press and hold to edit function while on the lock screen. I usually rest my thumb on the screen while carrying my phone and press and hold my lock screen and somehow mess up all my customizations and i just want to know if there’s a way to get rid of the press and hold to edit lock screen thing

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

The screen also has to be unlocked before the Lock Screen edit can work. This happens to me when I bring the iPhone up to my face and Face ID activates and my thumb enters the iPhone into Lock Screen edit mode.

There is no setting available to disable this feature. You can suggest this feature directly to Apple by leaving a product feedback here 👉 Product Feedback - Apple
