Never saw it in iOS 16 (among a lot of other cool ones) and now in iOS 17 all I see is the stock one, the one with the fish, and some stripes so it was probably removed. You could probably download it from the web and use it from Photos.

It was in iOS 16, I had updated my wallpaper to the dark blue version of this one weeks before the iOS 17 update dropped. But this isn't just a still photo, the orbs move around when you move your phone, and they fade in and out.

Very sad to see they removed these wallpapers, I am still clinging onto mine in my lock screen library! Hope they add them back.
 
Yeah, I noticed that also! Loved the moving bokeh dots. I had in one of my wallpaper focus modes on iOS16 and that's no more.

It looks like Kaleidoscope took it's place?
 
I tried to find it on my 12 Mini on 17.0.1, and it's not there any more.

Sad, I hope they bring it back.

Same! I had a couple from iOS 16 that I'm clinging onto, I still love to use it!
 
Those dot wallpapers were first introduced in iOS 7 a decade ago. It's impressive they survived this long considering how often Apple removes wallpapers.

They removed this from iOS 17 but if you had this as your wallpaper on iOS 16 before updating to iOS 17, it fully carries over, meaning you can change the colors as well. I've been using this as my lock screen wallpaper for years and still using it now.

Wow, that really is a long time for a wallpaper. And yeah, I do know that it carries over, but it's kind of a shame you can't add any new ones. Oh well. Maybe they'll come back, maybe they won't.
