Create a new wallpaper option for your iPhone lock screenĪpple has completely redesigned the lock screen on iOS 16, allowing you to fully customize various elements, like the date and time, add tiny widgets to let you keep up with the weather and popular news, and create multiple wallpaper profiles that you can easily switch to and from.Īnd if that sounds appealing, customizing your lock screen should be the first thing that you do after installing iOS 16. Update: here is a video of how you can set dynamic wallpapers in iOS 16, which are not obvious as the thumbnail in collections shows a blue wallpaper.1. While it has been good to see Apple continue to further embrace customization in iOS 16, it is disappointing to see the removal of older beloved features. While the Live Photo did not automatically animate upon screen unlock (missed opportunity!), users were still able to interact with their memorable photos. Live wallpapers allowed users to set a Live Photo as their lock screen, and long press it to see it animate. While there are new dynamic wallpapers, the older ones have been removed, with the exception of one (available as a multi-colored option under the blue-colored wallpaper in collections). Along with the lost stock wallpapers, Apple has also removed dynamic and live wallpapers, that were part of previous iOS versions. However, this is not a workaround that users should have to rely on.Īpple has added lock screen customization, but this has come at the expense of some features that users loved. Perhaps, it’s an oversight on Apple’s part but it has clearly bothered customers.įortunately, if you are a fan of previous stock iPhone wallpapers, you can still download online. Just like other users, we are baffled by this decision, and unsure why users who got stock wallpapers with their iPhones, cannot access them anymore. Why has Apple removed the older stock wallpapers? We are not sure.
