iOS 17.3, lock screen always black in one focus mode

In the "Work" focus mode, my iPhone always shows a black background for the lock screen, different to what I see when I configure it. I am using iOS 17.3, but I have had this issue with the previous releases as well.


I have three focus modes configured on my iPhone.

  • "Sleep", with no background images specified
  • "Sport", with a red "Color" background
  • "Word", with the "Color" background you see in the attached screenshots.


This is what I see when I configure the background:



When the phone is locked, the background on the lock screen is different and is black:



The home screen has the correct background, i.e., the one I see when I configure it.


This only happens with the "Work" focus.


In the "Sport" focus mode, I have chosen a red background that is shown both on the lock and the home screens.


I have found reports of similar issues for iOS 16.


Am I doing anything wrong?
