Wallpaper on iOS 16

Is there a way to get the Lock Screen to display a different background than the Home Screen wallpaper picture?


iOS 15 allowed such a configuration and I can’t get it back to the old wallpaper settings after trying to add a new picture. It only appears to display the new picture in “pairs”. I don’t want my picture on the Lock Screen.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Update: By editing through the Lock Screen, I was able to delete the failed attempts (which were saved as new theme options). This brought me back to the first option, which is the old wallpaper settings from iOS 15. So I am at least back to my original wallpaper.


The question remains as to how to independently change my Home Screen wallpaper without it changing the Lock Screen also.
