Mine does.


  • Open the Photo
  • Tap the Edit Sliders
  • See the options on the bottom and tap Portrait
  • Use the Slider to adjust the background blur you want
  • Once adjusted as you'd prefer, tap Done


If this isn't an option for you, perhaps in Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restriction > Photos - you have in Photos the switch turned on for Don't Allow Changes?
