Always get Black lock screen in a Focus

I am constantly getting just a black Lock Screen when I setup some focuses and turn them on. Even though I choose a picture from photos. To set picture I turn on focus. I click-hold the screen to get options and I choose one of my pictures already there. It flashes then back to black!

Hi stacye80,


We want to help make sure Focus is working as expected. To start, restart your device. A restart is a simple step that can resolve a wide range of issues. See how here: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


When setting a custom Focus Lock Screen be sure you're using the steps below and that this isn't a Sleep Focus, as that is expected to show a black screen.


1. Go to Settings > Focus.
2. Select the Focus that you want to customize, then choose the Lock Screen.
3. Create a new Lock Screen, select an existing Lock Screen, or select multiple Lock Screens that you want to connect to this Focus.
4. Tap Done.
