Hello Aomine16,


It looks like you joined the Apple Support Communities from a great article for what you're trying to accomplish: Change the wallpaper on your iPhone. Did you have a chance to follow all the steps offered on that page?

Add a new wallpaper for your Lock Screen or Home Screen
1. In the Settings app, tap Wallpaper.
2. Tap Add New Wallpaper.
3. Tap Photos, People, or Photo Shuffle to choose your own photo. You can also select a wallpaper from a category like Weather & Astronomy, Emoji, Collections, or Color.
4. If you want, you can customize your wallpaper further. Then tap Add.

If so, what exactly happened when you tried to edit your wallpaper? Also, check out the information on this page. The steps ultimately lead to the same results, but the difference in wording may help out further: Change the wallpaper on iPhone.


Best wishes!

I have the same issue, wanting a different wallpaper on lockscreen than on home screen.

Maybe you find the article great, but it doesn´t help if you want two different wallpapers.

It used to be easy and possible, now it seems Apple is forcing us to only use one picture for both.

Why?

If there still is a way to have two different wallpapers, please share that with us instead of redirecting us to the standard article that we already read but did not help.

Thank you
