After the latest iOS 26.1 update, now whenever I try to switch apps, my wallpaper turns pink in the background. I’ve tried force rebooting the phone, but that didn’t seem to help.
I’ve also tried switching wallpaper, which also hasn’t resolved the issue
iPhone 16, iOS 26
"I fixed it by going to settings, accessibility, display and text size, and turning on and off the “reduce transparency” setting. It resolved it for me like this!"

Provide this Bug Fix to Apple:
Do your Part: These are just user-to-user forms. Apple barely reads the forums as it is on their own time and will. Apple will know nothing of this concern, if you do not spread the word to them. So, report it to Apple. They wont get back to you directly, but the more they hear about this, the more likely they will look into, knowing what is going on. They will know knowing of this fix, if you don't report it to them.

A screen shot of your home screen, and a shot of your screen whilst in the app switcher mode would help us
Weird thing is, I cannot get this bug to be visible on a screenshot, but I’ve managed to make a screen recording where this bug is seen, so I’ll provide screenshots of the video (screen is normal)
(now it’s pink right when I pull the home button up to go into app switcher)
It worked, thank you!
Oh well, it only worked temporarily. Still hasn’t been fixed
