Blurry wallpapers in iOS 8

Same here, iPhone 5, iOS 8.0.2. Haven't tested if the solution from the forum works, but I'l test it soon. Even if, it's only a temporary solution, it needs to be fixed!

In ios 8.0.2 everything still remained,Apple are you stupid?

ios7.1.2

IOs 8.0.2

Update: 5s now running ios 8.0.2 sadly can confirm, ios 8.0.2 didn't fix the bug... it's still there.... hhhmmm (annoyed) 😟

Sure hope the ios people at Apple will notice it..

I get the other' social media app and notification bugs are of higher priority and therefore earlier noticed,... but COME-ON!!! Apple!

Please Fix this annoying BUG A.S.A.P!!

---because.. "Just think of all the people making 'great pics with their iPhones' (including 6 & 6+ owners who got the same bug --read on other forums)

.....of them wanting to use their vacation / loved-one photos... (or the upcoming holidays!) those photos will look AWEFUL as wallpaper...

In other words "Until Apple fixes this, using your own Photos as wallpaper is a 'no..go.."

Updated to 8.0.2 and still having the blurry wallpaper issue on my 5S. C'mon Apple, get it together.

Im not alone!!! IOS 8, the buggiest iOS ever!!!!

I've got some news: just bought an iphone 6, activated as a "new phone" (so the OS was really clean), same problem again!

So I think this bug is actually in every iphone. It's just iOS 8 that *****.

Having the same problem here on iPhone 4s never had the problem before until iOS 8 upgrade

Here is a temporal (and partial) solution

(my own testing his 'temp solution', .. and added notions)----

Thanks for the tip, ..just tested it out on my iPhone 5s

It does less pixelate the images when zoomed in, but if you look closely,

they sadly still do..(you'll notice more blurriness than pixelation since its PNG-file format)

So I guess in some way using a PNG does help a bit.

Just don't zoom in to much with the PNG-file photo,
as the pixelation (or BLUR in this case of PNG-file format) gets obvious again.

For now this may work (in part) for some pics you/we want to use,

(but only the imported ones directly)...

When using photos shot with your iPhone, they first need to go through some export to PNG workaround..

Sadly it is just 'another' temp/partial solution to the BUG,

(but it is at least a better one i think)

I had this problem but if you take the photo and resize it to the size of the home screen it sets it exactly as how sharp it is. If you don't want to do this in Preview or Photoshop on your Mac, I use an app called Image Resizer Free and it works just fine.

Change them accordingly:

iPhone 5: 640x1136

iPhone 6: 750x1134

iPhone 6 Plus: 1080x1920

Retina iPads: 2048x2048

Same here, even though I have an iPad Mini 1st gen, running iOS 8.0.2, only the original iOS wallpapers look sharp, anything else I try from my camera roll - regardless the high picture quality - looks blurry. This is a bug and should be fixed soon!

same problem. this is very aggravating. i even resized the photo on my computer and uploaded it to my phone, and it still looks terrible. i do not think this is a bug that is going to be fixed soon, since there are issues with this that seem to go back over a year and since ios 7. how is something that should be so seemingly simple not possible on this thing? turned of parallax, resized, still defaults to a huge distorted image. really disappointed.

Better solution. Crop your photos to 9:16 for the 6. That is the ratio for the screen. Keep in mind that it will still zoom slightly for the effect, but it's still better than just having the wallpaper do it for you.

Upgrade to iOS 8.0.2 to see if its fixed.

Always upgrade to the latest version first.
