My iPhone wallpaper is blurred

Did all that and it is still blurred at the top. I don't know why this was ever thought to be good thing, all I ever hear about it is complaints.

Seems Unacceptable14u got it right in the midst of all the incoherent jibber jabber in this thread.

There are two places where the Wallpaper is applied... 1) Lock screen, and 2) Home screen. The Customize feature to turn off blur on the Home screen seems to works file, but there is no option to turn off blur on the Lock screen, so all Lock screen wallpaper images appear blurred, and there's no way to turn this off. The blurred Lock screen definitely does not match the preview image on the Customize page for the Lock screen.

I'm not sure how this could every be viewed as anything other than a massive oversight by Apple. Please pull your head out of your... the sand and get this fixed sooner than possible while you still have a reputation to salvage.

Take the blue off of the background of the photo in the wallpaper I hate it it’s annoying I want it to be the normal picture it’s not a cool feature it’s really annoying fix it!!

This was frustrating me too. My wife came up with a good solution. If you open the picture you want in photos on your phone and zoom in however you want it, then take a screen shot, that screen shot will then be the correct aspect ratio and will work as your wallpaper without blurring at the top.

Just posted this on a similar thread: The blur issue was driving me crazy also. I wanted to put the photograph on my lock screen because with all the apps/folders on my home screen, I can’t really see the picture anyway. I googled it and came across this website. It helped me big time. https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/fix-blurry-iphone-home-screen/. I have Focus (aka Do Not Disturb) set up on my phone. When I turned it off, the picture showed up on my lock screen. Check out the website and see if it helps! PS- it seems like when I tried to crop the picture to get it down further on the screen is when the top part blurred. I have an iPhone XR.

Go to the settings app and look under your focus settings. It can be fixed in there

K sorry I should have expanded on this further. Once you’re in your focus settings you need to hit the do not disturb tab. In there you will see options for you home and Lock Screen.

Hey everyone! I was so frustrated and having the same problem! But figured it out after sometime- you want to pinch and move the expanded photo up...keep doing that until the full lock screen doesnt have a blur at the top anymore. Hope this helps!

This is how I fixed it on IOS 17.3

Under settings.

select “Wallpaper”

scroll across to your prefered wallpaper pairing

choose “Set as Current” at the top of the pictured pair.

Now exit Wallpaper and Settings

If that does not fix it, select another pair using “Set as Current” at the top of the temporarily chosen pair.

Now exit Wallpaper and Settings

Go back to Settings

select Wallpaper again

scroll across to your prefered wallpaper pairing

choose “Set as Current” at the top of the pictured pair.

exit settings again.

Now the blurring should be gone.

if not, I’m lost as it worked for me. 🤦‍♂️

there is NO “unblur” button for the WALLPAPER. there is for the home screen, but NOT the WALLPAPER.

Hi go to your focus settings in the settings app. You can fix it in there

APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP it ruins my wallpaper there should be a option if we want it or not this is trash as ****

Hey, if you still have a problem with blurred lock screen then you can disable « sleep mode » and locked picture will be unblurred

This is it. It's focus settings. Change those and you're good! Just wait til the morning!

If you go into settings, wallpaper, pick the wallpaper you want, hit the customize button, when that screen comes go to the bottom of the screen that comes up and on the very far bottom right is a small blue circle that says blur; just tap it and it will unblur the background. I had that same issue and the blur button is definitely there.
