This morning my phone forced the One UI 7 update.  Since updating, I can no longer set my wallpaper. I have the wallpapers set to change depending on the mode. All that shows on my home screen is a purplish black wallpaper. I use GO Launcher Z as my default launcher and have not had any issues with prior updates. The odd thing is my wallpaper shows up if I am viewing the apps I have open but not if I am officially on the home screen. My lock screen wallpaper on the other hand is correct. 

I have tried:

  • Wiping the cache partition
  • Clearing GO Launcher's cache
  • Restarting phone (multiple times) 
  • Setting the wallpaper through the Themes section of the settings
  • Returning to the default Theme (in Themes section) and resetting my wallpaper after
  • Setting the wallpaper through the Wallpaper section of the settings 
  • Setting the Wallpaper through GO Launcher 

Nothing has worked so far.  I just want to be able see the wallpaper have set - not one One UI seems to be forcing me to have.

You can see the colors of the background I have set here but not on my home screen.

As with all launchers when a new Ui is installed some stuff gets broken until the app developers update their app.

You can go the developers support page in the Playstore and contact them with your issues.
If they are reputable they will get back to you with fixes.

Same exact thing is happening to me.
I set UI as the default and my wallpaper showed.
I think it's a comparability issue with the launcher.
I think if we email them, they'll fix it

I'm glad to know I'm not losing my mind. I am having the same issue and have tried everything you tried and keep having to look at that same ugly circle thing. Hope there's a fix soon.

There are also issues on the Flip 5, so there's definitely something wrong.
