iOS 16 offers a number of new options for setting the wallpaper and customizing the lock screen. You can choose dynamic astronomy and weather wallpapers, emoji art, photo album mixes, widgets, and more. But one thing that is not so easy anymore is setting a different wallpaper for the home screen and lock screen. Here’s how to do that.

The new wallpaper system in iOS 16 tries to encourage you to set the same wallpaper for the lock screen and the home screen. That’s the default behavior when you set a new wallpaper, and there’s a reason for that. iOS uses special transitions when you switch from the lock screen to the home screen when the two match. For example, the Earth on the Astronomy wallpaper rotates forward when you swipe to unlock. However, if you want to have different images for the photo on your lock screen and the photo behind the app icons, that’s possible. It just might not be as obvious. We have mentioned steps below to c**hange the home screen on iPhone**

## Steps to change the home screen on iPhone

Update your **iPhone to iOS 15** (iPad to iPadOS 15) or iOS 16, if you haven’t already.

Long-press an empty area on your **home** **screen**.

Once you are in jiggle mode, tap the **page** **dots** near the bottom center of the screen

On the **Edit Pages screen**, make sure the page you want to move is enabled (has a tick mark below it).

Tap and hold the app page you want to set as your new **home** **screen**. Then drag and move it to the first position.

After switching the home screen, tap “**Done**” at the top right corner.

## Final Words

We hope like our article on how to Change the Home Screen on iPhone. You’ll note that iOS 16 advises using the same wallpaper for the Home Screen when you design the Lock Screen for the first time. This is because, if the backgrounds are the identical, Apple uses dynamic transitions to some wallpapers when moving between the Lock Screen and the Home Screen.
