Wallpaper keeps going black

No matter how many times I reset it, the wallpaper on my iPhone goes black. What’s the fix?

Just helped someone else with the same problem.


The reason why your Wallpaper changes itself is because a Focus profile changes it. Pull down your Control Center from the top right corner, find the Focus button and tap - see if one of the Focus profiles is highlighted, if so - then deactivate.


After that you can go to:

Settings > Focus. Find the profile and change the Time Schedule or delete the entire profile if you don't need it.
