Wallpaper disappearing 14 Pro Max running 16.1.

Im having a frustrating problem with my iPhone 13 Pro Max running 16.1.

At random times, the wallpaper disappears leaving me with a black screen. I have to reboot to get the wallpaper back momentarily, but it disappears again.

Will Apple be releasing a fix for this?

yeah Really frustrating. I was hoping there would be a fix on 16.1.1 but there wasn’t.

I have my favorite picture of my favorite golden retriever who died in 2020. Now I can’t have it as my wallpaper, which is really sad to me.

I set a different photo as wallpaper then go back to original one, and they both come back. The Lock Screen and active screen, different wallpapers - I don’t see that option any longer, to have different wallpaper on lock and active screen….. :(
