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.
My old wallpaper is not available as an option in +wallpaper.
I tried turning my phone all the way off and then on again and my lock screen wallpaper came back.
My lock screen wallpaper only seems to black out when my music is playing and then tends to come back later when I’m not listening to music.
Think like an apple dev. That means break something that intuitively works. In this case, make the DO NOT DISTURB function black out the screen wallpaper but not the white text. To fix, simply turn DO NOT DISTURB off. This will restore your lock screen. This is why the problem returns after people "fix" it. Because your apple dev thinks he/she knows better than the user. Welcome to iPhone ****. Thanks Tim.
I suggest an alternative, like a message "Do Not Disturb will back your screen click here to undo that." OR better yet, let them opt in to it. There a UIX feature that apple would never dream of thinking, because of course, they know better than their consumers.
I ran into exactly this problem immediately after applying today’s security update. Why has this never been fixed by Apple? I note THOUSANDS of people checking “Me too” on this incredibly long term bug.
And yes, I ran through all the workarounds, all failing. I’ll be reinstalling the OS. If that also fails, I’ll anesthetize myself and slog through Apple “Support”. (o_0)
What me name
This bug was fixed for me until yesterday with the last update… now with 16.5.1 Lock Screen turned black, AGAIN. 🤬
I chose a photo to be my wallpaper. It asks me what I want to pair it with. I don’t wanna pair with anything I want that photo in the background. All I can choose from is a series of solid colors in varying gradients.
Where is the photo I chose for backy except in my camera. It’s nowhere to be found!
Mine did that, apparently having the do not disturb focus on was the issue, as soon as I turned it off the wallpaper was back to normal.
This is how you fix it go into your focus settings and I click everything boom 🤯 wallpaper problem fix
Again and again… Lock Screen was ok with 16.6 and I really hoped that this bug was finally fixed. And then this morning AGAIN black screen. Nothing happened to cause this, my phone was quietly in charge, no updates, no turned off. PLEASE: FIX THIS very ANNOYING BUG once for all. Please. Thank you for your efforts
