My iphone 14 pro max wallpaper won't stay assigned

I have a new iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 16.3. The wallpaper that I want it to stay on changes every night to a pure black wallpaper.


I go into Settings > Wallpaper and assign what I want and it works until around 10 PM and switches to the pure black wallpaper. Every morning I have to manually reset the wallpaper.


Am I missing something on how to do this?

Hey Fazzdaan,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Sounds like you’re having an issue with the selected wallpaper on your iPhone 14 Pro Max changing unexpectedly.


To get started, we’d suggest backing up and updating your iPhone 14 Pro Max to the latest iOS version, which is iOS 16.3.1 and testing further. For help with doing so, check out these steps:

Update your iPhone or iPad wirelessly
1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
The Settings app on iPhone showing options to update to iOS 15.7 or iOS 16.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.

These steps are outlined further here: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


We hope this helps out. Keep us posted on the results.


Take care!
