I have turned off all the focus and the issue still persists. What the point of being able to chose a pic for my locked screen if I can’t see it—I’m so frustrated with this😖😖😖

It works for us all so we need to find out what is wrong

So create a NEW wallpaper in Settings, Wallpaper. Don't try to customise existing wallpaper.

Tap on Photos at top left.

Select a photo from your photos collection

Add any widgets

That should work
