iOS 16.1 Lock Screen Wallpaper Display

I just updated my iPhone 11 to iOS 16.2 and now my lock screen is displaying just a black screen with the time, flashlight, and camera icons. I restarted the phone and verified that Settings/Wallpaper is set to select the wallpaper image that I have been using for years. After restarting the iPhone, the correct wallpaper was displayed but the next time the display went to sleep, it was again just showing the black background image.

I have worked around this issue by going to Settings/Wallpaper/+Add New Wallpaper and then selecting the wallpaper image I used in the past.

I used to have one photo on Lock Screen and another as wallpaper. Now the Lock Screen photo is almost completely black, and the wallpaper photo is enlarged 2x.

I can’t figure out the benefits of the last two releases as I’ve lost the ability to customize my screens and battery live has gone from three days to no more than 16 hours. So frustrating.
