Can't customize iPhone lock screen after iOS 16 update After updating to iOS 16 there does not appear to be any way to edit the default Lock Screen. There should be a way to change the photo. Yes, once you create a new Lock Screen then you can ignore the original default Lock Screen, but you cannot remove it. Seems odd. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

You cannot delete the Lock Screen setup that is active. You must therefore create a new one. Then you can make a "Long press" on your lock screen, find the lock screen you want to delete, swipe up on it, and delete.
