This looks like it has been a problem for a while. My wallpaper had changed on its own, not sure what happened. I dug up the photo I've used for years on my iphones and when I try to 'pinch to crop' it simply doesn't work. It just reverts back to its full size. Any ideas?
I'm using most current software.
iPhone 13
Pinch to crop does not work on wallpaper. I just updated my iPhone 14 pro max. When I pinch to crop and release my two fingers, the photo goes right back to full screen.
APPLE NEEDS TO FIX SO IT WORKS PROPERLY!!! SURE TAKING THEM LONG ENOUGH>> but thanks for that idea.....
My pinch to crop wallpaper hasn’t worked in the last 3 updates. Recently it automatically changed my wallpaper to an old image which was permanently deleted a while back. As i was sitting in a drive thru waiting on my McNuggets😳
I have done about ten of these now on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I got about six (6) usable wallpapers. In your case, this is what I would try: erase the wallpaper that is screwed up. Make sure it is gone everywhere espec from the cloud. Then go back to the original foto (download it again) and start over. I am waiting (without much hope) to see if iOS17 does anything to help with this disgraceful situation.
After that just keep trying. On some of them it will take ten or more attempts to get a usable
wallpaper. For my best one (yes, just one), the setting to put the picture in front of the text (which really looks good) actually worked (was not greyed out) but I could never get it to work on any other image.
When I updated to the most current version of the OS the "pinch to resize" function started working. Now I haven't tried it on multiple wallpapers, but on the two I tried it worked fine. Other than the OS update, nothing else changed as far as my iPhone software is concerned.
this happens even with iOS native emoji avatars. You have them cropped to the bottom edge of the circle then save it. Then a few seconds later in the contacts or messaging app the revert to a “see-all” centered version woth padding all around. The flat bottom of the avatar emoji pic is now visible.
Use 2 hands to crop and hit done with another finger before letting it go.
Thanks It worked!
what worked???? It does not work? Has not for a long time....
Me too
Apple makes very elegant hardware , that is iPhones, iPads, etc. but let’s face it their software sucks . They need to hire some of Google’s developers.
Update-For me when I just finished updating to iOS 17 the feature finally worked in terms of placing the cropped image in the right - center - location on my lock screen. Yea!
I am having a similar issue but when I ‘pinch to crop’, the top half of my picture goes blurry and have to continue using a zoomed in image instead of the full image that I want
I have 2 iPhones, both on the latest software yet my pinch to resize still blurs my pictures on the top half
This actually worked. It isn't very intuitive that you need to hold the resized image based on the pinch gesture and then click the done button.
Nothing works!
Pinch to Crop Wallpaper... still not working
