Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Could you please elaborate? What happens when you try to choose a wallpaper to your locked screen via Settings > Display > Lock screen?

Have you tried to choose a wallpaper with the "Xperia wallpapers" instead of choosing "Album"? If yes, does this work?

[blacksheep23]

Yes, experia wallpapers works very well, I was trying to make my family picture or any picture taken using my phone as lock screen but I cant.

But what happens when you try to choose a picture that you've taken? Do you receive any error messages?

[blacksheep23]

Yes, it says cannot set as wallpaper.

That's strange, it works fine for me. Could you please give me a step-by-step guide on where you press in the menus and which options/programs you choose to open different selections with?

You could also try to boot your phone into safe mode to see if you can change the wallpaper:

It would also be great if you can provide me with your build number which can be found via Settings > About phone > Build number.

Thank you! Now it's working very well and the reason why I cannot set my photo as screen lock is because my SD card was protected.

Nice to hear that you solved it! Thank you for the information.
