IOS7 Wallpaper Jumping

I think it's a software issue, so returning the phone won't help. I'd wait it out until the next update or until we learn more.

I am having the same issue. Even when the parralax effect turned off. The icons, mostly the ones higher up on the screen, seem to snap into place when I switch from an App to the home screen.

i also have this exact same issue, on an iphone 5s updated to the latest version of ios7.. could this issue be caused by the motion sensor, the same reason the spirit level is out? just a thought as it seems to be only affecting 5s users the same as the other issue.

Quick fix: Turn off Parallax Effect.

Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion

Fixes your problem and saves some battery!

This is actually considered a "normal operation" according to the apple rep I spoke to. Sas10kk's instructions will help a bit.

Yes I have this problem too, I have sporadic episodes of icons/wallpaper either jumping a few millimetres or moving up a few pixels at a time, only fix seems to be turning on the reduce motion button in accessibility. Got to be a bug as my friend has same issue. Please fix for 7.0.3 please Apple.

i wont hold my breath 😠⚠

7.0.4 and I'm still seeing this problem. Turning reduce motion on hasn't fixed it for me. What's strange is that some people are saying they've seen this but they know it's already been fixed. Both my girlfriend and I have a 5s (on 7.0.4) and are seeing this annoying bug. I have a new iPad mini and an old 4S here - both also on 7.0.4 - and it's not there. I tried on a colleague's iPhone 5 and it's not doing it so it seems like it's definitely a 5s issue.

I refuse to believe that it's been fixed for anyone who owns a 5s. They probably think this is about the shifting of wallpaper/icons when reduce motion is turned off, but that's a different issue, which HAS been fixed.

This is about the transition from exiting the app-switcher/multitasking dock. I've also noticed that if you open the app-switcher whilst in an app, and then swipe to close the app you were in, the stuff at the top of the screen (time, battery, signal, etc) appears within the app-switcher, which makes the transition back to the home screen even worse, as the two sets of time, battery and signal icons have to merge and you really see the glitch this way. Like it hesitates in the last second and then snaps into position.

I had a look on YouTube to see and review videos that showed the app-switcher in action and on the 5s, they all do this little glitch, but people just don't seem to notice it.

Someone recorded it. Finally, people will be able to see what we actually mean!
