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.

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.
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.

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.
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!
wallpaper Won’t stay put
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 🤯
Wallpaper on locked screen gone
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.
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. 🤬
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.
