Wallpaper disappears

After the upgrade to ios 16.1.1 (20B101) wallpaper has started disappearing; my iphone 11 just shows black screen with all tiles for apps. Same is true for library screen too.

  1. Restart phone, original wallpaper temporarily appears, and within minutes disappears leaving dark background
  2. settings - wallpaper seems to indicate current wallpaper as the correct one, however it is not showing on the real screen (vs implied settings)
  3. from time to time, especially on calls, screen turns black and nothing can be done to retrieve the phone ui or see numbers or call info; it is as if phone is locked with a call ongoing in the background.


I sincerely hope that Apple is not forcing us to ditch iphone 11 and upgrade to a newer one.

This is an ongoing problem with the IOS 16 updates. I am hoping Apple will fix this problem. I tried restarting as well. The wallpaper will come back but only for a few minutes. I also chatted with Apple support. But they were not able to fix the problem. I wish whoever wrote these updates would test it out before launching it. It is making a lot of customers very unhappy.
