To fix the black wallpaper issue, restart your iPhone, download the image from iCloud, or set the wallpaper through iPhone Settings. This issue predominantly affects custom photos, not in-built wallpapers, and may require an update or support from Apple in rare cases.

If you’re just seeing a black screen or black image instead of the wallpaper photo you expected, here’s how you can get around that and have your lock screen wallpaper working again as expected: Go to the Settings app on iPhone or iPad Go to Wallpaper Select “Choose a New Wallpaper” and select the photo or image you want to use as your wallpaper
