Create Emoji iPhone Lock Screen Wallpaper in iOS 16

Probably the best part about the emoji Lock Screen wallpaper is the ability to select from different styles such as Spiral, Rings, Small Grid, Medium Grid, and Large. Not to mention, it also offers a way to change the background color of your emoji wallpaper. Hence, you can mix and match with the desired freedom to make your wallpaper look stunning.

  2. Now, long-press on the screen to bring up the Lock Screen wallpaper gallery.

Alternately, go to the Settings app -> Wallpaper -> Add New Wallpaper.

  2. Next up, you can use the emoji picker to select the desired emoji. After that, tap on the X button at the top right of the menu to close the picker. 
  3. To preview different layouts, swipe left or right on the screen. 
  4. Up next, tap on the triple-dot icon aka the ellipsis icon at the bottom right corner of the screen and choose Background. 
  5. Now, select the desired color. Note that, you can also use the color slider to cycle through the available background colors.  As always, you can also put a variety of widgets on the wallpaper to make it look even more pleasing to the eyes. Just tap on the widget panel below the time or above time to bring up the widget selector and then tap on the widgets that you want to add. 
  6. When you are happy with your customization, tap on Done at the upper-right corner of the screen and choose Set as Wallpaper Pair to set the wallpaper for both Home and Lock Screen or Customize Home Screen separately as per your needs.
