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

Exactly, Apple apparently is now disabling standard features to facilitate App makers. Absolutely deplorable and what you would expect from a former Compaq and IBM employee. Horrid.

I have found a temporary solutuion. download the app instasquare. Select your photo and then click blur. Pinch the photo till it Is fairly small. save it. Put it as your wallpaper. This way your photo is repeated and doesnt look too bad. Just am trying to find a way to reduce the blurring on the original photo.

This is how big you should make your photo. If your photo is portrait just rotate this pictur.

Hahahahaha. Absolutely laughable. Another App maker selling his product. I guess this is the way of the future with another huge company too big for moral business ethics. Disable standard features and you have to go buy Apps to get them to work again. Deplorable.

WIth all respect i am not doing any promoting. I am actually be honest that this is what i used. please dont reply back instisting i am. I have experienced this problem myself. I promise that i am not.

to do this u must edit the picture under photos... once you have selected the edit button on the top right hand corner select either crop or the reconfigure button... fix it so that the subject of the picture is in it and so that the picture fits the screen of you phone... set it as wall paper and see if this helps... If you cant get this to work than you must select a different photo

I "Must" huh. Nope. This is a glitch in Apples ios. Move & Scale no longer works, period. I'm not going through any hoops to get this to work, LIKE IT USED TO! Apple is failing day after day while Cook is out of the office. This needs to be fixed so it works again. Errors and glitches like this are showing up everywhere. Work a rounds won't cut it. A new CEO might be needed.

Just would like to say that this message may be old, but iOS8 still it is unacceptable that we cannot re-size the photo in the wallpaper settings by pinching. Some photos we don't care about the reso.

thank you! worked for me.

Sixty two pages of people complaining about this malfunction of iOS and no response from Apple to fix it. It is September 29th, 2016, and another iOS is out 10.0.2. iOS after iOS and Apple does not fix this issue. It began with iOS 7 and has been broken ever since.

If Tim Cook is so out of touch with what is going on with their software, maybe it's time for him to step down and let someone come in who responds to the customers. This is obviously a problem for the customer. We don't need "work arounds". That is an idea which IBM and Compaq embrace. Apple used to be about "it just works". This feature has been broken since iOS 7 and we don't see any response from Apple to solve the problem. Terrible.

You might as well remove the Apple logos from all the stores and place a Microsoft logo there.

This worked for me. Thanks for the info.

Thanks, it worked for me perfectly! I'm using iphone6s

Maybe different devices have diferent solutions...

Perfect. Thanks. Been downloading apps and everything.
