How do I change the wallpaper on my regular screen not my lock screen the screen that has all my apps on it

I really like the newest 16.1.1 however I am unable to change the black background behind my apps screen, and I would like to change it, so how do I do that? It’s only allowing me to change my lock screen.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16
