Wallpaper issue

After my iOS 16.3.1 update my locked and unlocked screen wallpaper goes black. To regain my normal wallpaper I have to restart my phone. What’s up?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Check if you have an active Focus Profile. Some Focus profiles are set to change the background when activated.


Swipe the Control Center down from the top right corner, find the Focus button, and tap. If one of the Focus profiles is enabled, tap it to disable. After that, go to Settings > Focus, and open the profile you just deactivated. Find Time Schedule, tap in and delete if you don't want it to activate automatically.
