iOS 14 Lock Screen won’t change from black

Updated to the latest iOS. Now my Lock Screen won’t show anything but black. No matter what I do. Even reset my phone! Even choosing a pre-loaded Apple Lock Screen image... I get either a very dark and blurred photo or it’s completely black. H E L P :(

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14
