Black lock screen after iOS 17.1.1 update

Since updating to iOS 17.1.1 my lock screen is black. No matter what I try to change in settings or what Focus I am on it just won't show my picture. I have even tried to change the lock screen to one of the Apple pictures via the settings menu but its still black. Any suggestions? Thank you

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
