My home and lock screen images keeps changing on my iPhone 12 Pro Max

Everyday for the past 3/4 day, my home and locks screen images keeps change on my iPhone 12 Pro Max.


I have the iPhone Blue image as my lock screen and i have a custom phone as my home screen image but every morning, my home screen changes to complete black background. And to fix this, i have to restart my phone....every day which is very annoying. I have the latest iOS 16.1.2 installed.


Why is this?

Hi saifurv,


It sounds like your device might be set to rotate through wallpapers. Here's how to check that setting:


"Rotate multiple photos as your Lock Screen wallpaper

  1. In the Settings app, tap Wallpaper.
  2. Tap Add New Wallpaper.
  3. Select Photo Shuffle from the top row of options.
  4. On the Photo Shuffle screen, set a frequency (On Tap, On Lock, Hourly, or Daily). Then choose a set of photos that will shuffle as you use your iPhone throughout the day.
  5. Tap Done."
