Galaxy Theme Store wallpapers don't work on the S26 Ultra

When I try to use one of my wallpapers for the home and lockscreen I get

Set as wallpaper activity does not work. This is happening with all my wallpapers.

Im thinking it's a bug with One UI 8.5 and Im the first to catch it.

This is happening with all my theme store wallpapers.

I'm having the same issue... the themes are honestly the entire reason I buy this phone and none of them will work. I'm about to return the phone and just use my old one

The problem is probably because their incompatible with One UI 8.5 and this possibility got missed during testing if so it can be fixed with a software update.
