Thank you. I did that and I hope that will stop switching to portrait mode on future photos; but how do i turn off the portrait background blurring in pictures i have already taken?
  1. Select the photo that you want to change.
  2. Tap Edit.
  3. Tap Portrait at the top of your screen.
  4. Tap Done.


If you change your mind and want to re-add the Portrait mode effect, go back to Edit and tap Portrait again.
