Wallpaper glitch

My iPhone 11 (iOS 16.1.1) has started defaulting to a black wallpaper on both my Lock Screen and Home Screen since I updated my software to 16.1.1. Settings still indicates that my personalized wallpaper photo is selected. The only way I’ve been able to fix this is by restarting my phone.


I have screen time/downtime scheduled and my wallpaper switches to black during those hours, but it does not switch back to my personalized wallpaper photo at the end of the scheduled time.


I have also noticed this happen when I turn my phone off then back on and when the phone dies then turns back on after recharging.

I have the same problem as Khenny9. I used an old photo for my wallpaper and now get a black background instead. When I look at Wallpaper in Settings i can see the old photo as "Current", but it is not current the screen is black. I don't want to have to go through thousands of photos to find it and set it up as a new wallpaper, I just want the old one back.
