You have the Sleep Focus enabled, which automatically dims the wallpaper.

My Lock screen wallpaper is dimmed Hi, my lockscreen wallpaper is very dimmed when this was not the case previously. What happened to it? It was showing as normal then my phone went empty and I charged it. When it turned on, it now looks like this.

Lock screen wallpaper appears darker than the actual photo For context I have an iPhone 11 pro on ios 15.5 I’ve noticed that my lock screen wallpaper is darker/dimmed even though on the home screen it’s normal. I don’t have the setting turned on that dims the wallpaper with dark mode and the photo is always dark regardless of my phone being in light mode or dark mode. I’ve also tried out multiple pictures and keep having this issue.

iPhone top of lockscreen wallpaper blurry It seems that with certain pictures the phone is adding a white blur to the top of it where the clock and date is shown. Is there a way to it off and I don’t mean the blue you can do for the Home Screen, this is on the actual Lock Screen.
