I update to iOS 26.3 on my iPhone 15pro and my Home Screen is black, and won’t change with trying to edit from Home Screen and it is not on dark mode. I have forced reset a few times to no avail, any suggestions?
iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 26
The only thing that worked for me was to go to Settings->Wallpaper. Change the iPhone's Home Screen and also background to a photo, and then select "Set as Current"
Since this issue apparently happens with other updates, based on previous complaints, it's a systemic bug.

Chang your background picture.
Yes changing to a photo, just worked for me. Nuisance these things. My background was purely a colour, and I'm still not sure it's exactly the same, but at least it's back. Even so, I tried once and it went back to black again. Updates are often a real pain, just about always these days taking an hour orso, to sort out glitches.
Yes, this worked ,thanks
Help with back screen 26.3
