ios 17 wallpaper top blur

After updating to iOS 17 the top half of the wallpaper is getting blurred on both homescreen and lockscreen even when not desired, and there is no way to turn this off.

I tried changing to multiple wallpapers with different aspect ratios but the issue still persists. It is starting to get bothersome, please help.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

To improve understanding of the phenomenon, it would be highly beneficial if you could share a screenshot. Visual representations carry greater impact than written descriptions.


Please remember that this is a public forum, so when attaching a screenshot, please avoid including any personal credentials such as IP addresses, card details, email IDs, Apple IDs, IMEI numbers, serial numbers, phone numbers, order IDs, or any identifiable location information if you are sharing a map.



With the limited information that you have provided, It is hard to even guess the problems faced by you.

Yeah this is probably the stupidest feature update ever. The only way to fix it is to revert back to iOS 16. Cropping images to your screen size doesn't work either because it just zooms in by default when selecting an image to set as your wallpaper. I hope they get rid of it or at least make an option to turn it off soon.
