iPhone wallpaper does not stay

I have set my Wallpaper on my IPhobe 12, but it reverts back to a plain blue screen without me changing it to this. It seems to happen in the evening. Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?

iPhone 14, iOS 18

I suspect you have a Custom Screen set for the Focus Mode that turns on in the evening. Go to Settings > Focus, and choose the Focus mode that is on when the wallpaper changes. You should see an icon on the top of your screen that would identify the Focus Mode. After that, you can choose a different Wallpaper for each of your screens. When that Focus mode turns on, the wallpaper will change to what has been set here.

  1. Is this your corporate/organisation/enterprise/School Management iPhone? Then please contact the system administrator of your corporate//organisation/enterprise/School Management
  2. If it is your device, in that case, do you have any profile installed by your corporate/organisation/enterprise/School Management?
    1. Erase the profile added by you If you have installed a profile on your own --> Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple ...
    2. Or please contact the system administrator of the organisation who provided the profile to you
