iPhone 11 Pro Max screen colour issues

in the end it turned out it’s just apples default wallpapers that have the issue for me. If I select my own image then the colours are fine. It’s only when you select theirs that they suddenly look desaturated.

funny workaround - I like one of their default wallpapers, so I googled it and found it as an image. Saved it to my photos and selected that as my wallpaper... ta daaaa! Colours look fine!

such a weird issue!

I’m currently using an iPhone 8 with updated iOS 13.1.2 ;

Every single photo (saved straight from camera or otherwise) that I set as my wallpaper becomes washed out compared to it’s view in the photos app.

I’ve attempted saving as screenshots, changing settings, etc.

It’s driving me mad! Needs to be fixed ASAP. It feels like my eyes aren’t working, but the difference in quality is very obvious. This wasn’t an issue prior to the iOS 13 updates.

I have this issue on iOS 13.1.2, however for me it is only wallpapers from my camera roll that are affected, any apple ones appear normal. I spoke to an advisor who could verify the issue and said engineering are very much aware of the issue as it has been reported frequently, however they have no fix just yet. Weird that it seems different for different people.

Honestly this is driving me crazy! Got the new iPhone 11 max pro, and so excited to utilize the amazing screen, just too discover any photo I set as the home wallpaper is completely washed out! Some might think it’s only a minor issue but tbh for the amount paid this really needs to be resolved ASAP. The only photos that look decent as the background are the apple wallpaper. Anyone know when this will be fixed?

hi

this is a common issue, you’re one of many with it, i also have it. there is currently no fix, but apples engineers are working on it. at the moment though, they don’t know what is causing it. you might have to wait an update or two before it is fixed, i do know though that this happened on iOS 12 for some people, and even iOS 11 for others and it was fixed relatively quickly. don’t worry, it will be fixed, the advisor i spoke to assured me that a LOT of people have been reporting it

Finally someone with the same problem, its very weird problem but not all 11 pro max have it , i have got 3 max pros and one of them is having this problem which I cannot understand. Washed out wallpapers, but i think its effecting many things too not only wallpapers and its killing me.

I have seen it on various display models also, some in the apple store itself. If it is affecting more than your wallpapers it would be worth taking it to a genius bar. As far as I know, and as far as I am affected, it is only on wallpapers.

I’ve attempted this multiple times and it has not fixed the issue. I have spoken to various advisors who have said engineers are STILL unsure of the cause and have no definite fix. Restarting fixes it temporarily but once you change your wallpaper again, it will return.

You are right, i did change the wallpaper after reading your comment and it went back again to washed out colors. It is killing me because i feel it effects not only the wallpapers.

the question is: are all i phones have this problem? I have a pro max 256 Gb .

Exact same problem... even with iOS 13.2...

both my iPhone 8 Plus, XR and 11 Pro Max show this issue.

Even the guys at my local Apple store can’t explain what happen...

this is a bug of iOS 13...

I hope that Apple will fix this problem soon

I have the same issue after I updated to iOS13.2. It seems like a screen colour issues which occurs on every app and photo album.

I found this when i used Facebook and acknowledged that all the colour that I posted was desaturated.

I have tried to figure out for a day but still couldn't find out. Next day, i accidentally clicked on a desaturated picture in the photo album then the screen colour was instantly cleared and more saturated within a second.

I think I have to buy an apple care + for this but still not sure if it's because of the screen or iOS issues.

P.S. I have iPhone 11 Pro

I’ve found a solution that fix the bug! You simply have to restart your iPhone with the following process (forced restart)

press volume up + volume down + power button until The screen turn off and turn on.

This fix all problems!

Forced restart will fix it until you change your wallpaper again, which reverts it back. There is no solid fix for this bug as of yet, but a force restart will fix it until you change your wallpaper again
