Thanks for reaching out chrisdon51,


It sounds like your wallpaper disappears and you're just seeing a black background instead. We can help.


For this issue your best bet would be to Contact Apple for support and service and report the behavior.


Hope that helps.


Take care.

I’m on iPhone 13 With the latest update 16.1.2 (I believe).

yesterday my Home Screen wallpaper turned black. I must’ve click something or had my fingers pressed down on the screen while carrying grocery’s in the house. I don’t remember what I had done.


I was unable to edit my default (1st) focus wallpaper or delete it. Any attempt created a new focus wallpaper instead of editing the existing focus wallpaper. I can modify the others but not my default wallpaper.


another poster suggested changing your region & language because his was reset to another country. Why not give it a try? It’s simple, right?


im in the US. I changed it to UK and saved it. It works! What about switching it back to US? YAy, everything is back to normal. I ended up deleting the broken focus wallpaper by swiping up and recreating it. So far so good.


good luck!
