Wallpaper on my iPhone Home Screen is just black

For some reason, my wallpaper on my homescreen is just black even if i set it as a photo wallpaper that has color.


  • Force Restarted
  • Turned of dim light
  • Turned of Sleep Mode
  • Updated my IOS to the most recent one.
  • Reapplication of wallpaper


I would try to reset all my settings, but that sounds so.. final.

Im only able to customize the homepage's (color, blur, photo, etc)


But I cant change that for the Lock Screen if that makes sense, or I can? but I don't know how to do it?



This is for the lock screen



This is for the home screen. and the Home screen is the only thing thats working actually. so its just the lock screen thats abit wonky
