Hello there

Like many reported, my wallpaper turns back after updating to iOS 16.2

Problem is, although I backup all my pictures, for some reason I forgot to backup the pictures from that trip. So yeah, no more backup of this picture.

Is there a way to retrieve this picture from the iPhone? Maybe with a third party software? This is insane that there is no possibility to do this simple task!

I called Apple Support but once again they were clueless. The guy didn’t know how to delete wallpapers.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Absolutely. But my question is more regarding how to retrieve the picture, as I don’t have a backup of it. Sadly.

It could but unfortunately not. It was a picture from few years ago.

And as I mentioned, I don’t have a backup of this picture. I wonder if there was a way to retrieve it from the iPhone. So weird that we can’t access to it, it must be somewhere.
