iOS 16.0 No Live Photo assignment as Wallpaper/Home/Lock Screen

Used to be able to assign a Live Photo as a new Wallpaper showing the static and video image prior to iOS 16. The beta version of iOS 16.0 accepts the Live Photo as a static image only. Not sure if this is a bug in the current prerelease or a permanently dropped feature. Anyone else observed this issue?

Thanks for the report. It’s the expected behavior.

It's crazy that this feature would be removed. It will be great to still be able to use the live photo's as live wallpapers with the new lockscreen.

Are there any plans to bring this feature back? or into the new wallpaper system rather? I almost regret updating as this point.
