My log on screen photo and contact-if-found is blurred. My image and wording shows in the back but can’t be seen or read. My desktop is just a color. How can I unblur it?

If you go into settings, wallpaper, pick the wallpaper you want, hit the customize button, when that screen comes go to the bottom of the screen that comes up and on the very far bottom right is a small blue circle that says blur; just tap it and it will unblur the background. I had that same issue and the blur button is definitely there.
This is it. It's focus settings. Change those and you're good! Just wait til the morning!
Yes, me too. Was fine until today. Then when getting my phone out of my pocket it seemed to go to the Customize option. Now I can’t change it back. The Lock Screen is always blurred and looks nothing like the preview.
That doesn’t seem like that’s a fix to the problem as there is no option to not make the wallpapers blurry when they are expanded. All my wallpapers are still blurry when expanded. Apple really needs to fix this with their next update.
This does not answer the question asked. What we need to know is how to get only the top half of the screen to unblur. With the button you have described, I am able to switch between two versions: full blur and half blur. We are looking for a way to get rid of the blur entirely
The “blur” button is for Home Screen image not for locked screen image. It is terrible idea to push the locked screen image to the back and make it barely visible. Your suggestion doesn’t fix the locked screen image issue. Let apple respond, obviously they think it is a good idea or simply made a mistake in their recent update.
Correction, it works fine. The image on locked screen appears behind or blurred when in “focus” mode. Else it is working as expected. Not an issue for me. I can see my son’s picture as clearly in locked and Home Screen as expected.
I hate this!!! Because its white at the top, I can’t see my battery & WiFi status. If I enlarge the picture to get rid of the white, I lose all but the center of the picture. This happens no matter the size of the photo. This didn’t happen before, even when the picture was the wrong size. Fix this!!!
You are a certified genius. Every single solution I have found has been complete junk. There is a massive difference between 'my whole lockscreen is blurred' and 'the top of my wallpaper is a bit blurry'. If your lockscreen looks like you're staring at it through a layer of glue, it is your focus settings that are the issue.
Thank you so much. 30 minutes of absolute pain resolved.
This may be what ends my apple usage. I’m an artist and set my lock screen as my reference photo because it’s a pita to unlock my phone every few minutes. This “feature” is absolutely moronic, why even give an option to set the lock screen wallpaper if we can’t even see the thing?? This plus not being able to shut off the idiotic change wallpaper in lock mode, because Seriously who tf needs to do that?! Annnnd the fact Apple decided to auto capitalize “lock screen”; cherry on top tbh because why? There’s no legitimate grammatical reason for that hyperlexic’s nightmare to exist.
Unrelated but related, Apple making it as hard as possible to utilize cross systems and changing everything between two phones/mac vs PC, charging ungodly prices for what’s essentially become a disposable phone because they’re built to break, and ignore feedback and continuing to make the stupidest, most useless changes possible is mind bogglingly idiotic. I’m done, will be switching to android next phone.
I have the same issue.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
What about for Lock Screen?
I’m not enjoying it, I hate it. I don’t want my wallpapers blurry when expanded. I just want my wallpapers to be the same when expanded, not blurry.
i am not Enjoying it.
Why is iPhone wallpaper blurry?
