iOS 17 wallpapers blurry at top

Ever since the new update my Lock Screen is always blurry and even though I’ve turned it off it won’t go away. I’ve added my Lock Screen 3X turning off the bluer then when I check it’s blurred.

Did not work.

OF COURSE APPLE IGNORES US YOU GUYS ARE GARBAGE

For me I've tried like 100 times to fix the issue but no solution please apple should rectify on it, even some videos are blurry.

Agreed! Apple you’re ridiculous. I feel like if more people threatened to switch to android they might just listen.

Does not work

It’s awful! It has made it so that I cannot see the top bar either because it blurred it white. I can’t see the time, battery status, or service details! Apple get rid of this!!!

How do I tell apple I hate the half of my wallpaper blurred.

why couldnt they just make the informations to adapt to the color of the background automatically, like the time would be in different shades od the color you want to be seen better

Tell Apple. The more people who submit feedback to Apple, the more likely they are to make a change.

I'm sure it's a feature that was added so we can see widgets better, but I'm not fond of it at all. Like, if you don't want to create a wallpaper that Apple automatically zooms in for you and decide to zoom out, the top blurs, and distorts the image. I'm sure it's situationally fine, I just want to be able to easily disable that feature.

hey, i was having the same issue. but if you go into a drawing app, add in the image, and then add like a thick border of color around the image, you’ll be able to freely zoom out without any issue! hope this helps :)

i personally used instagram because it’s really easy to set a background color, then drop in an image, and save it from there. however, procreate, sketchbook, or really any drawing app would work. just put a background color on any of these apps, then insert your image, and make it small enough that a thick border of color is seen around the image, then save it and put it in your wallpaper! you might have to adjust the size of the border depending on what image you’re using, but it works rlly well! i hope this helped :)

you can also even use freeform, just use the drawing tool two down from the ruler, select your color, and put it where you want. then you add your image in, and fit the size. then export it as a pdf to your files and go to a pdf to image converter, save to your camera roll, and boom!

This is annoying. Once the zoom triggers on some wallpapers, it makes the Clock and other text unreadable. For some reason iOS 17 seems to add a dark blur and then use dark colors for the text.

Please provide an option to switch between dark/light colors for the textual elements. The current color system is unusable and makes things even worse when I try to use it

The “genius” bar isn’t going to do anything lol. They told me the phone I’m currently typing this on “kernel exploded” and was completely unfixable, and yet my dad got it working good as new after watching a few YouTube videos. But it factory reset and updated and that’s why I’m having this problem. if only apple spent less time and money over-engineering dumb features like this that nobody asked for, and spent more training their staff!
