Hello lynnefromcasuarina,


Thanks for reaching out to us in Apple Support Communities about your wallpaper turning black. We're happy to help by looking into this more! 


Since this has happened, having your tried restarting your iPhone? Here's a resource that can help: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
The volume button is located on the left side of the device, and the side button is located on the right

2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.


If you restart and still have issues, reach out to Apple Support: Get Support


Hope this helps.


Best Regards.
