Fix the Wallpaper Turning Black on the iPhone

Why is My wallpaper turned black?

Have you ever experienced your iPhone wallpaper suddenly turning completely black? This article explains the causes of iPhone wallpaper turning black and how to fix it! While there are several possible reasons, knowing the solutions will help you calmly restore your wallpaper.

1. iOS Glitches

iOS is regularly updated to introduce new features and enhance security, but these updates can sometimes cause glitches. These glitches may prevent wallpapers from displaying correctly, especially after major iOS updates.

2. Effect of Focus Mode

The focus modes (such as Sleep Mode or Work Mode), introduced in iOS 15, is a feature that limits notifications during specific time periods. While it's very convenient to set individual lock screens and home screens for each mode, these customized settings can sometimes affect the wallpaper display, causing it to turn black.

3. Device Malfunction

Hardware issues can also cause wallpapers to turn black. Specifically, display problems or internal connection issues may be to blame. Physical damage to the device or deterioration from long-term use can prevent wallpapers from displaying correctly.

How to Get Rid of Black Background?

1. Restart Your iPhone

The first basic solution to try is restarting your iPhone. Restarting can often resolve temporary software glitches. Follow these steps to restart:

1. Press and hold the power button and volume button at the same time.
2. When "slide to power off" appears, slide the slider to the right to turn off the device.

3. Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the power button to turn on your iPhone.

2. Update iOS to the Latest Version

If an iOS glitch is the cause, updating to the latest iOS version may solve the problem. Here's how to update:

1. Select "General" from the Settings app.
2. Tap "Software Update" and install the latest update if available. If it says "iOS is up to date," on the next page, no update is necessary.

3. Reset Your Wallpaper

Resetting (adding new) wallpaper may solve the issue. Follow these steps:

1. Hold down on the lock screen.
2. Tap the "+" mark next to "Customize".

3. Select the image you want to set as your lock screen wallpaper.
4. Tap "Add".

5. Choose "Set as Wallpaper Pair" or "Customize Home Screen" to set the home screen.

4. Set Home Screens for Each Focus Mode

If Focus Mode customization is causing the wallpaper to turn black, setting home screens for each mode may solve the problem. Here's how:

1. Select "Focus" from the Settings app.
2. Choose the Focus mode affecting your wallpaper (the one active when your wallpaper turns black).

3. From "CUSTOMIZE SCREENS", set both "Lock Screen" and "Home Screen".

Summary

The problem of iPhone wallpapers turning black can be caused by various factors. iOS glitches, Focus Mode settings, or device malfunctions are possible causes, but trying appropriate solutions can resolve the issue!

First, try restarting, resetting the wallpaper, or updating iOS. If the problem persists, device malfunction may be suspected, and it's recommended to consult Apple Support.
