iOS 16.1 Lock Screen Wallpaper Display

bring the original photo up on the iPhone screen and take a screenshot/photo of the photo. Then add that new photo as a wallpaper selection.

this alone does not work. where is Apple's reply? I fixed it-- bring the original photo up on the iPhone screen and take a screenshot/photo of the photo. Then add that new photo as the wallpaper selection.

Yes it works…. BUT WHY should we as users need to go to the extent of a back door fix.

this is an Apple problem, but they appear not to own it.

This happens to me with my iPhone 13 as well. It's been happening since a couple of updates ago (I just downloaded iOS 16.4 for context). This makes me sad-- the black screen is lifeless and I don't like that my attempts to continually fix it don't last. Apple, in your next update, PLEASE fix this.

Take a 'screen shot' of your favorite wallpaper image by bringing it up on the screen and snapping a photo of it. The select that new photo as your wallpaper. We did that several weeks ago and the new one is still working. Seems like there may be an issue with older picture formats that allows the wallpaper to go to black in the iOS updates. The newer photo apparently resolves that.

I am currently using iphone 14 pro. After updating my ios to 16.4 my wallpaper automatically going black. Lockscreen is not having any issur

This does not work for me, tried several times with different wallpaper that I’ve previously used, still black! Aggravating!!

i have tried a picture that I just took, no luck!

In our case the file format of the 'screen shot' is .jpg, file size is 72k. It might make a difference what size & file format your screen shot is. I can say that using our screen shot image worked and has continued to work for weeks. Before we did that, the old image could be used as wallpaper but then wallpaper would go to black after several minutes -- without fail. No other settings were changed. Some users have suggested additional settings to change that might affect this issue. Best of luck. Apple has not responded to this issue and most likely will not do so on this forum. I have never seen any discussions where they participated.

Good freaking grief! This problem has going on for at least 5 months, and they didn't even fix it in the latest update? But we got more emoji! 🙄

What a load, apple!

Both my iphone and ipad currently have this exact same problem. And now it's April 2023. I'd really like to have wallpaper that STICKS. That's the definition of the term. Especially with this constant brag ⬇️ that it can be changed from said lock screen. There are more than enough dumb emoji. Fix it so I can actually see what I personally choose to display on my screens.

Now I know not to waste time with support, since there's clearly no fix.

After spending many thousands of dollars over the years on your products and services, the least you can do is have ios operate as advertised. Windows never works the it should.

Stuff like this is too dumb and too frustrating for a nearly trillion-dollar valued corp.

wallpaper Won’t stay put

to go back where it turns off completely you have to go to Setting> Display and Brightness> and turn off where it says “always on” then it should be back to normal and turn off it worked for me !

The bug was fixed for me until the very last update (16.4.1.a). Now the Lock Screen is again all black. It’s a shame 🤯
