Hi there gloj,


If you're choosing to rotate photos as the wallpaper for your Lock Screen, you choose the set of photos that will shuffle when you set it up. You can follow these steps to choose a different set of photos:


Rotate multiple photos as your Lock Screen wallpaper
1. In the Settings app, tap Wallpaper.
2. Tap Add New Wallpaper.
3. Select Photo Shuffle from the top row of options.
4. On the Photo Shuffle screen, set a frequency (On Tap, On Lock, Hourly, or Daily). Then choose a set of photos that will shuffle as you use your iPhone throughout the day.
5. Tap Done.

Take care.

Hey gloj,


Are you able to delete unwanted wallpapers. The steps to delete can be found in the guide recently shared titled "Change the wallpaper on your iPhone"


From the Lock Screen wallpaper options, you can also tap the Focus button to link a Focus to a specific wallpaper, customize existing wallpapers, or swipe up on a wallpaper and tap to delete it.


Let us know how it goes.


Take care.
