Is the wallpaper on your iPhone screen keeps disappearing and turning black again and again? If the image on your iPhone’s wallpaper is too old or an image that you have got long ago, this problem can show up on your device. We have an interesting trick that will fix this continuous black screen issue on your iPhone.

Fix 1 – Duplicate the image and set it

Step 1 – Begin by opening the Photos app.

Step 2 – Now you have to find out the image that you are using as your background in the Photos application.

Step 3 – Do not open up the image. Instead, just hold the image and tap “Duplicate” to make a copy of the same image.
