Always get Black lock screen in a Focus

anyone else NOT have the option to "Dim Lock Screen"

I have the same issue. Strangely, it recognizes the image on the lock screen well enough to blur it and use it as the blurred image as the background on the home screen, but it won't use the image as the lock screen the same way that it does with "personal."

I've restarted my iPhone several times and am still experiencing this! I've set up specific lock screen wallpapers for different focus modes, yet as soon as any focus mode (DND, work, sleep) is turned on the lock screen is black with white font for time, date, etc. rather than the wallpaper I set.

This sameness gong is happening on my phone as well. Whenever the scheduled sleep focus turns on it blanks out my wallpaper on my Lock Screen. Or is it supposed to do that to reduce distractions. I hope this can be figured out.

No longer works. These steps/ submenus no longer exist.

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.

Thanks.

Go to Settings > Focus > (Choose Focus mode) >

Under People and Apps, choose the Options Menu

Turn off "Dim Lock Screen"

This will show the chosen Lockscreen / Wallpaper instead of the Black focus screen.

I think I just figured this one out. Sleep Focus appears to be the only Focus mode that doesn’t show your chosen lock screen image. It just stays black… because it’s sleep focus and designed minimize any brightness which could to disturb sleep.💡

I can choose a Lock Screen image for any other focus mode and it works!

Same. I have the option to turn on/off “sleep screen” but either way the Lock Screen is black.

Thank you !!!

How do I do this with the sleep focus?

Doesn’t work. Isn’t the problem.
