After i updated to IOS 15.6 my background for Safari keeps changing back to my old ones. It happens every other day so far, i use Safari a lot so i tend to notice when it changes. Is this just a little problem with IOS15.6 or something else?
Hi emma_0410,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! Do you use multiple devices? We ask as because as noted in the following article "Your custom start page settings are updated on all your Apple devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID and two-factor authentication is turned on for iCloud. ":
Customize your Safari settings on iPhone
If not, does this happen with all images or just a specific one?
Thanks.

Is this happening with the default images, or custom ones from your photo library?
Also, does restarting your iPhone have any impact on this behavior, even if only temporarily? Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
Let us know, and we'll keep moving forward from there.
I only use one device and that’s my phone. I think it’s been between two pictures most of the time. I just put one image a bit ago to see what it would look like then changed it back to a new image i liked more. It’s only been a couple times that it changes but enough that i’ve noticed.
Hi emma_0410,
Thanks for letting us know. Could you please test to see if the same issue happens with a provided background image for Safari versus a custom photo? We'd like to see if this is happening regardless if this is a photo from your own photo library or a preloaded background image for this. Knowing this could help determine possible next steps for your iPhone and Safari.
Take care.
Alrighty, so i set the background as one of the ones apple provides, then shut down my phone and let it sit for a few minutes, turned it back on and it’s back to the old old photo once again. So it’s doing the same thing regardless if it’s a default photo or a custom photo it looks like.
Yes so it doesn’t happen when i shut down my phone, when i turn it back in and check safari it has changed to my old picture, then i need to change it back. I do use custom photos.
Hey emma_0410,
At this point, we would recommend reaching out to Apple Support. They will have the necessary tools to investigate into this matter a little more: Get Support.
Cheers.
