How to stop photos from “Fading” when using shuffle photos on your lockscreen?

Hi, I just downloaded the iOS 26.2 update and for some reason my shuffled photos on my lockscreen keeps doing this weird fading when I tap through the photos. It’s very irritating and I would like to turn it off. Can anyone please tell me how to? Thank you.

iPhone 16, iOS 26

iOS 17.1.1 Wallpaper Blur does not work The latest iOS update 17.1.1 has broken the Wallpaper Blur option when you have a different photo than the Lock Screen. If the Lock Screen image and Wallpaper image are the same then the blur works fine, but when these images are different the blur option does not work. This worked fine before this new iOS update.

Photo selection lock screen keeps zooming in photos I have a rotating selection of photos (photo selection in customization) for my lock screen. My IPhone keeps zooming in on every photo for some reason, possibly repositioning entirely. Does anyone have a solution for this? I thought after positioning the images manually myself they would stay in that position, but I guess not. 1st image is what I set the zoom the be, the 2nd is what it eventually gets to.
