Hi I updated to iOS 17 yesterday and my wallpapers are getting blurred on the top, my wallpapers from the top seem to be fine yet but I found beautiful new wallpapers and it’s ruined because of the top blur. My phone is an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Figured out how to fix it on my IPhone 11. Go to settings, then Wallpaper, then do New Wallpaper…it lets you pick a photo for the wallpaper…then you can click over on the Home Screen and change it if you want. But at the very bottom right hand corner you should see a raindrop looking image that says “blur”. If you click that it removes the blur from the image.
This will work Feedback - iPhone - Apple
I agree, I have some photos that fill almost the entire screen in my camera/photos roll but when you go to set as a wallpaper it blows the image so that you need to crop it. Frustrating!
There’s no blur button if you tap the Lock Screen, only when in the Home Screen and that just unblurs the pic to make it look like the half blurred Lock Screen.
This is a Stupid feature.

i'm not sayin it is a bug but there could be an option for users to change the blurrz thingy
So tell Apple what you'd like to see:

This is the worst feature apple ever added
Have you told Apple how you feel?
Yes in wallpapers and contact posters if you try to resize a photo it's getting blurred on top for me that is more like a bug than a feature I submitted it as a feedback for a bug
“having a wallpaper that perfectly fits the format for the specific iPhone”
Some pictures taken with the same iphone 15 pro at 12MP 3024x4032 the same resolution don’t blur others do blur.
@abhi_t Nope. 16 previous iOS didn't require cropping for unblurred backgrounds. It's a bug that's needs to be fixed.
here’s a workaround that fixes the problem. Pretty easy.
the crop doesn't work for all photos unfortunately it depends how much you are zooming out

Yeah i wish Apple gave us a choice to remove that feature
Tell Apple:
Did you leave your feedback to Apple, that's important
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!
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!
