I want to have 1 picture for my home screen, and a different picture for my lock screen. Why have you gone and made this so difficult to accomplish?

After the update of my Iphone, the lock screen no longer has a photo. I want 1 picture for my lock screen, and a different picture for my home screen. Why has this changed, and is there a way to get it back like it was?

iPhone 11 Pro
