Lock screen and home screen different wallpaper photos.

I had one photo as my lock screen wallpaper and a different photo as my home screen wallpaper. Now IOS16 seems to require that I use the same photo for both the lock screen and the home screen wallpaper. What happened? How do I use two different photos?

You must change any wallpapers used with earlier versions to new wallpapers (they can be the same, but you must recreate them). See→Change the wallpaper on your iPhone - Apple Support


You can have different wallpapers for the Lock and Home screens, as well as different wallpapers for different Focus settings. But to do this they must be new wallpapers, because the older ones don’t have the software “hooks” necessary for the new features to work.
