Best Buy replaced the battery on my 12 Mini. Since then Home Screen and Lock is "updating" my wallpaper and using battery. I've never had any widgets and the wallpaper has always been black. (lemmy.world)

Is there a way to stop it from "updating" my wallpaper? The suggestions I've found online don't address this specific issue head-on--the "updating" wallpaper when I've never had any widgets or wallpaper. I'm guessing this is some malicious process from Apple to drain my new battery and there's nothing I can do about it.

Not a specialist but it sounds like a shitty feature from apple. I’ve you tried going to an Apple Store ?

    Yep, I'm guessing they did some sort of update rather than just physically replace the battery. I should have done it myself. Best Buy is an authorized Apple service center. The nearest Apple store is quite a drive away. I haven't been motivated strongly enough yet. I expect there's nothing they can (will) do about it, too.

    Oh, well.

    have you tried just changing the wallpaper back to black and removing widgets?

    apple introduced new customization features that people like, which you don’t have to use. it isn’t malicious.

    I don't have a wallpaper set. Never have.

    I don't have widgets installed. Never have.

    The lock screen is black, shows only the clock, the flashlight, and the camera button, as it always has.
