How to Change Wallpaper on iPhone from Lock Screen?

To change your wallpaper directly from the iPhone Lock Screen, you need to access the Lock Screen customization interface. The quickest way to do this is by long-pressing on your current Lock Screen.

Here's a simple breakdown of the process:

## Accessing Lock Screen Customization

1.  **Unlock your iPhone**: Wake your iPhone screen.
2.  **Long-Press**: **Press and hold** anywhere on your Lock Screen background.
3.  **Enter Customization Mode**: After a moment, your Lock Screen will shrink, and you'll see a "Customize" button at the bottom or a view showing your current wallpapers.

## Changing the Wallpaper

Once in the customization mode, you have several options:

### Option 1: Add a New Wallpaper

*   Swipe left on your current wallpaper until you see a "**+**" button (Add New).
*   Tap the "**+**" button.
*   Choose a new wallpaper from the various categories:
    *   Photos
    *   People
    *   Photo Shuffle
    *   Weather
    *   Astronomy
    *   Kaleidoscope
    *   Emoji
    *   Collections
    *   Color

### Option 2: Customize Existing Wallpapers

*   Swipe through your existing Lock Screen wallpapers by swiping left or right.
*   Tap the "**Customize**" button below the wallpaper you want to modify.
*   You will be taken to an editing screen where you can make adjustments.

## Customizing Lock Screen Elements

Within the customization screen (whether adding a new one or editing an existing one), you can personalize more than just the background:

*   **Clock**: Tap on the time to **adjust the font and font coloring** for the clock, as mentioned in the reference. You can select different styles and colors.
*   **Date/Widgets**: Tap on the date at the top or one of the existing widgets below the clock. You can **change those** by tapping the area and selecting new widgets from the available options (like Weather, Calendar, Activity, etc.).

After selecting your new wallpaper and making any desired customizations (like adding widgets or changing the clock style), tap "**Done**" in the top right corner.

Finally, you may be prompted to set the new wallpaper as a "Set as Wallpaper Pair" (for both Lock Screen and Home Screen) or "Customize Home Screen" separately. Choose your preference.

Changing your wallpaper from the Lock Screen is a quick way to refresh your iPhone's look and personalize the information available at a glance.
