iPhone X and iPad lock screen wallpaper issue

The lock screen on my iPhone X is solid black background, but the home screen has my wallpaper. How do I get my wallpaper on the lock screen? I have tried all the documented procedures, but no luck. Also, my iPad now has the same problem.

iPhone XR, iOS 18

Sorry about the old iPhone, but it still works, so I keep it:) I tried to delete the unwanted screen and found that there is no Customize button under it, see attached screenshot. I appreciate your help.

We don’t know what these procedures are.
An iPhone X, released by Apple eight years ago, is too old to use iOS 26.X, the current iOS version.
This would be my suggestion if you were using the current iOS version. Perhaps it will help you.
