Just upgraded to iOS 16 yesterday (15/06/22), and noticed a few issues.
The wallpaper in landscape mode completely disappears.
The notification screen (Swipe down from the top of the screen) is bare of *anything*, no wallpaper, no carrier status, no battery status or anything else.
Please tell me how to downgrade to iOS 15.6 to fix these problems.
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16
Hey BattleZoid,
The option to downgrade is not available, but we may be able to help with your concerns. As far as the wallpaper, have you tested using a different one? This step will help determine if the issue with landscape mode and Notification Center are related to that one wallpaper.
Follow steps below to add/change a new wallpaper: "
You can also see the steps in this article: Change the wallpaper on your iPhone.
Take care.
You can get the wallpaper to display on on an iPhone 8 Plus Home Screen in landscape mode by configuring a focus with a Lock Screen or Home Screen page and then activate it while in landscape mode.
The problem is that when you switch from landscape to portrait and back, it will disappear again.

So I can confirm the capability to do so is still there, but the implementation of that capability is lacking.
This is not important in the grand scheme of things, but it is annoying to the people that have to experience it.

This issue honestly looks like it's supposed to happen, then again...
iOS 16 - New Features - Apple (CA)
"Apple collections
Choose from a set of dynamic, classic and landscape Lock Screens created especially for iOS 16. Apple collections include Lock Screens to celebrate special cultural moments, like Pride and Unity."
Does the landscape mode work if you choose one of the Apple preconfigured Lock Screens? (Eg not your own photos?)
Hi Sherri_P,
I have tested with every stock wallpaper and some of my photos.
The Notification Screen remains blank no matter what.
I found if you create a Focus and configure a wallpaper for it, when you turn it on in landscape mode the wallpaper will show on the Home Screen. But as soon as you switch to portrait mode and back to landscape the wallpaper disappears again.
Landscape mode Notification Screen
Just updated to iOS 16.0.2 and this issue has not been fixed.
i have tested with every stock Apple Lock Screen (iPhone 8 Plus) as well as most of my photos and it is the same in all situations.
No wallpaper in iOS 16 landscape mode
