Why is iPhone wallpaper blurry?

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.
