Solved: Bug w/ Latest update - Wallpaper Color Palette - Samsung Community

ItsTeacup · ‎02-23-2023

Since update One UI 5.1, the feature to change the wallpaper & style color palette no longer pops up after changing wallpaper. When going to it manually in settings, only the color palette of the last wallpaper prior to the update loads, there is still an option for the basic colors, but no option to get the wallpaper color palette refreshed for the current wallpaper.

I've tried restarting, toggling the color palette on and off, and nothing has worked so I'm assuming it's a bug with the latest update. I change my wallpaper every week or two so that's how I noticed that it stopped working.

I'm using a Samsung galaxy s22 ultra.

Anyone else having this problem?

**Edit - UPDATE**

Hello everyone, just following up on this. Our engineers have advised the default theme needs to be present for the color palette to work correctly, as it does not apply to third-party wallpapers or themes.

If you're using a default theme and wallpaper, and the device still does not recognize the patterns, you may need to perform a factory data reset on your device. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/

Try the long hold

Go to homepage and hold down, then menu should appear, if it doesn't let me know

It still only shows the color palette from the wallpaper prior to the update! But thanks for the suggestion!

It's the exact same thing for me. It is definitely the new update. I googled and this forum is what I found.

I hope they fix it in the next update.

When you go into color palette, scroll to get to the apply to icons.

Yes, I can do that but the actual color palettes aren't updating with the wallpapers selected after the update. They're stuck on the colors of the wallpaper I had prior to the update.

Did you ever get the issue fixed? I'm currently having the same problem. Whenever I try to change my wallpaper the color pallet option doesn't appear. Not sure if doing a factory reset would work...hopefully there's another option.
