Sleep focus mode lock screen keeps defaulting to black

When I configure a focus mode for sleep and set a wallpaper it defaults to black.


As you can see from below photos I have set a photo background which appears in the menu, however when I enter the mode it defaults to a black screen. I have tried deleting it and making a new one for sleep and same thing is occurring.


Anybody know how to fix this?

I had the same problem. I used Apples sleep focus and the Lock Screen was like tinted black. There was no option to remove it but when I created my own focus that wasn’t made by Apple then the Lock Screen wasn’t tinted black. Hope this helps.
