iPhone 11 wallpaper turns black

It happened yesterday for the first time. I did a quick restart, but it turned black again after 1 minute. Dark mode is enabled on my phone, but I do not think it has to do anything with that. Note that lock screen image is just fine, only wallpaper behind my icons is black.

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.

UPDATE: Turning off dark mode and restarting seems to solve the problem. But I like dark mode better :)

UPDATE 2: Turning off dark mode does not solve the issue! This is frustrating!
