Wallpaper keeps going black

No matter how many times I reset it, the wallpaper on my iPhone goes black. What’s the fix?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Just helped someone else with the same problem.


The reason why your Wallpaper changes itself is because a Focus profile changes it. Pull down your Control Center from the top right corner, find the Focus button and tap - see if one of the Focus profiles is highlighted, if so - then deactivate.


After that you can go to:

Settings > Focus. Find the profile and change the Time Schedule or delete the entire profile if you don't need it.
