Iphone background black no wallpaper

My iphone has suddenly no wallpaper and a black background. I have tried all manner of mode twiddling, but the issue persists - any idea how to fix that?

Background and Wallpaper constantly changing to BLACK automatically I have an iPhone 12 updated to iOS 16. The background and wallpaper constantly changes itself to Black, automatically. I have to power down my phone in order to recover my Lock Screen Photo as well as the home screen background (or wallpaper). Is this a setting I have set incorrectly or is there a fix to stop this? Thanks
