Hi JustLookingForHelp12,


What you're currently seeing is expected behavior. You will need to manually change the Home Screen now. Check this out: Change the wallpaper on iPhone


Change the wallpaper
1. Go to Settings  > Wallpaper, then tap Add New Wallpaper.
The wallpaper gallery appears.
2. Do one of the following: 
Tap a button at the top of the wallpaper gallery—for example, Photos, People, Photo Shuffle, Emoji, or Weather—to design your wallpaper with a photo, an emoji pattern, a picture of your local weather, and more.
Tap a wallpaper option in one of the categories—for example, Featured, Suggested Photos, or Photo Shuffle.
3. To customize a photo on your wallpaper, see Customize your Lock Screen photo.
4. Tap Add, then do one of the following:
Choose whether to use the wallpaper on both the Lock Screen and Home Screen: Tap Set as Wallpaper Pair.
Make further changes to the Home Screen: Tap Customize Home Screen. Tap a color to change the wallpaper color, tap the Photo On Rectangle button to use a custom photo, or select Blur to blur the wallpaper so the apps stand out.


Have a nice day.
