Black Wallpaper after iOS 18.1 update

I am using 12mini and after 18.1 update my wallpaper suddenly disappear making the whole background black. All other things seem to work perfectly except for the wallpaper. Restart solves the issue bringing the wallpaper back to normal but still after a day or two wallpaper disappears again. Does anyone have solution for it???

Changing iOS 18 iPad wallpaper Yesterday I updated my iPad to iOS 18 and since then the entire wallpaper system doesn't work. When I long press on the lock screen the wallpaper turns black for a second but then the wallpaper editing menu thing doesn't appear. Same when I go to wallpaper in my settings, it just shows me the gray rectangles with the blue plus thing in the middle but nit even my current wallpaper set. If I try to tap on that blue plus the time and date, the battery and the home button line thing (I hope you know what I mean) turn darker and then the iPad freezes for two seconds. Please help I desperately want to change my wallpaper to a cute fall theme :) [Re-Titled by Moderator]
