how to delete wallpaper on iphone

To delete a wallpaper on an iPhone (with iOS 16 or later), follow these steps:

1. Go to the Lock Screen and press and hold it.
2. Your iPhone will prompt for Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode to open the wallpaper gallery.
3. In the gallery, swipe up on the wallpaper you want to delete.
4. Tap the trash can (bin) icon.
5. Confirm by tapping "Delete This Wallpaper."

Note that the default wallpaper that came with your iPhone cannot be deleted. Also, wallpapers are managed from the Lock Screen and not from the Settings app for deletion purposes.

If the wallpaper is part of a Photo Shuffle, you can customize and remove specific photos within that shuffle from the same wallpaper customization screen.

This method allows you to delete any unwanted wallpapers on your iPhone efficiently.
