After installing iOS 16 on my iPhone, I could not wait to create some personalized lock screens on my beloved iPhone. The Stranger Things and Spiderman-based lock screens are still my favorite iOS 16 lock screen which I still have on the iPhone. I also tried weather, emojis, and many other lock screens. But after some time, I realized my iPhone’s lock screen was too messy. Hence, I had to remove some lock screens on iOS 16.
While creating multiple lock screen designs, I noticed around ten lock screens on my iPhone. So, I tried to delete a couple of lock screens on my iPhone. It was confusing since I did not know how to delete a lock screen on iOS 16 since everything was new after sneaking too much time on the iOS 16’s lock screen. I finally learned that it was so easy peasy to remove a lock screen from iOS 16.
How To Delete A Lock Screen Wallpaper On iOS 16
- Unlock the iPhone.
- Press and hold your finger on the lock screen.
- Once on the edit or customize mode, swipe up on the lock screen like switching apps.
- Tap on the delete icon below the wallpaper.
- Then, hit the Delete This Wallpaper option.
That’s it.
However, removing the lock screen from iOS 16 on iPhone was so straightforward. But it was also a head-scratching job for many users since the iOS 16 is new and the delete lock screen wallpaper is hidden a bit.
Conclusion
Long pressing on the lock screen of iOS 16, swiping up and then tapping on the trash icon to get the Delete Lock Screen Wallpaper option in iOS 16 on iPhone. If you have added several lock screens, you will have to delete the lock screen wallpapers one by one since there is no option to select multiple lock screens and delete them at once.
