iPhone wallpaper keeps going black iOS 16.1

On ios 16.1 - The post login Homescreen wallpaper keeps disappearing into a jet black background even though all the app icons still show up as they were - rebooting the phone restores the wallpaper till I have locked/unloced the phone 3 to 4 times and then back to black background.


Any workaround?

Mine was doing the same thing and I finally think I discovered how to fix it.


  • Go to Settings>Focus>Personal>Options
  • Turn off “Dim Lock Screen”


After I did that, my lock screen appeared as it should.
