Bug w/ Latest update - Wallpaper Color Palette

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?

Hello, There.

 

Thank you so much for posting this. Samsung is looking into this situation further and would like to gather additional details and logs from the device to determine why this could be occurring. We would ask that anyone experiencing these symptoms submit an error report. In the details include the following hashtag:  #SCommunity

 

Also, we ask that you please make sure that when you submit the error report that the issue is presenting itself at the time of reporting.

Thank you so much for bearing with us, and make sure to keep your devices up to date with the latest software!

 

Steps for Submitting an error report:

**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/

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.
