IOS 7 wallpaper resizing will not shrink photo to fit screen...

Turning it off does not say that it won't expand the image, it just says it won't shift the image.

46 pages of people commenting on how they're having trouble with this issue = SAD.

APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS.

Here I am again, reading all the updates and I see AppleLono commenting again. I am pretty beat up about discussing this issue. I am feeling like Apple took away something that I used regularly. Attempts to being heard seem to be falling on deaf ears and when speaking with AppleCare and the Genius's, I get the 'I know the issue and I am choosing to stick my head in the ground/drink the punch and believe this all was intended in the OS.

APPLE, I AM PLEADING, PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE (or allow us to revert to a prior version of your iOS).

Hi yes this is a bit or an irritation. I downloaded the excellent AutoDesk PixlrExpress+ as its free and has some great FX. It also allows you to save the image in different size. I have tried many combinations but always have the same issue that the picture is too large and can not be scaled correctly using the Apple wallpaper way.

Does anyone know the exact size it should be for landscape view?

What i ended up doing was to create a black Photoshop image at 4000x3000 (lazy way to make sure its 4:3) and paste the 2048x1536 picture in the middle. The image is displayed correctly in landscape but when you flip to portrait there is a letterbox, which I can live with.

But Apple! Come on... The fix to this is so simple! Enable/Disable Paralax

47 Pages of disgruntled iPhone and iPad users....and counting. I am so burned out over this.

You're welcome.

All right, I am really getting tired of the id10ts coming in here, not reading anything but the first post and thinking they are an effing genius for telling everyone to turn on reduce motion. Take a couple of minutes and look at some posts. You didn't think that someone offered this "solution"?

My problem is NOT the Parallax itself, but what it does to wallpapers. So yes, this solution after being posted 50 times, is still not a solution to the problem.

Sorry for trying to help. If you want a complete solution, do this exactly:

1) throw the iPhone in the toilet of a public restroom.

2) **** on the iPhone.

3) go buy an android. My suggestions would be an HTC One or a Moto X.

If you choose to keep your iPhone for whatever reason, quit complaining about it.

Just increase CANVAS of your image in any graph editor and place your image centered and slightly to the bottom.

Since iPhone allows zooming, this worked for me.

Apple will not change this behaviour, because it is not a bug to them.

This is necessary in order for the prallax effect, like mentioned a couple of times here.

So there are two options:

1) live with it and be mad at apple

2) Use the way Alexiuss suggested. The easiest way to do this is to use an app like Wallpaper Fix:

Wallpaper Fix didn't work for me - waste of money

InstaFix works fine as long as the resolution of the picture to be fixed is the same size as the screen resolution

There are now 3 wallpaper screens that need fixing by Apple The new pass code screen is an ugly muddy blur behind the numerical code box It would be nice to have a picture there as well that resized to fit screen like the good old days of IOS 6 !

Now that I have my wallpapers sorted with InstaFix I get so irritated that I can't see them properly because of the huge ugly opaque task bar which takes up too much of the screen

Sigh.....

What is your problem with Wallpaper Fix? Shoot a support mail at wallpaperfixapp (at) gmail.com with your problem.

I am not sure how InstaFix would help with this problem. It does not let you resize, rotate or position your image and it saves it as a square. You can not influence the part of the image you see at all.

Having tried and used both apps I found InstaFix did the job for me. With 1 simple click it makes a black border around my pictures and when I set them as my wallpaper they are all perfectly centred on my home screen and not zoomed. I use my iPad mini in landscape mode so I confess I haven't tried the app with my iPad in portrait mode

The app works the best if the pictures are initially the same resolution as the ipad screen in my case for the ipad mini 1024 x 768 pixels

Wallpaper Fix was very fiddly and time consuming to use and frankly didn't do the job of resizing properly so I am not interested in using it anymore

BLW I am not a app developer and have not financial interest in InstaFix. I just wish Apple would listen to a growing list of very frustrated customers who are now seriously considering jumping ship because their genuine concerns about a faulty product are not being taken seriously
