One of the major ones is the customizable Lock Screen for your iPhone. Along with the Lock Screen changes have come changes to the way you set a wallpaper or background for your iPhone Home Screen. In iOS 16, the Lock Screen and Home Screen options are tied together, but you can make changes to your Home Screen without changing your iPhone&#8217;s Lock Screen. <em>You should note, however, that if you change to a new Lock Screen, you will need to customize another Home Screen (that will be associated with that Lock Screen).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Change your iPhone&#8217;s Home Screen background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a couple of different ways to change your Home Screen. You can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Set your iPhone&#8217;s Home Screen when you customize your Lock Screen.<\/li><li>Change your Home Screen wallpaper from Settings.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In iOS 16, your choice for a Lock Screen determines your options for your Home Screen wallpaper. For more on how to customize your Lock Screen in iOS 16, see <a href=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/how-to-customize-your-iphone-lock-screen-in-ios-16\/\">How to Customize Your iPhone Lock Screen in iOS 16<\/a>.
