iOS 10 home screen wallpaper dimming

This is NOT solved. I'm on 10.2.1. All I have to do is open the picture in photo app and see and stark contrast between the original picture and the home screen. Apple doesn't care that so many people hate this 'feature'. They do what they want if we don't like it then we have to go somewhere else.

the only fix i found is to go into display and brightness settings and set to zoom then set back to standard. But as soon as your battery dips below a certain level it dims again. apparently its apples way of saving battery power since ios10 totally drains the battery. guess they want you to buy the 7. Im waiting for the 8. hope this helps

I have the same question, but more so because live wallpapers are buggy. Try setting your wallpaper as a live one and then open and close the app switcher. You'll notice the dim only applies to the screenshot the system takes.

Having this issue too and it just ruined our beautiful wallpapers apple! plz fix it.

I have also another annoying issue, maybe better to open a new ticket for it but describe it here hope you fix it too:

notification banner was useful as every time I pull it down I was able to see date and other apps widgets, but after update to iOS 10 every time I pull it down it's on notification view and I have to slide left to see my favorites. plz do something that the last view remain and not change back to notifications view every time.

Dunno how to resolve this. Just making a reply to show that I'm also experiencing this issue. Kindly advise how can this be resolve. This is annoying. Thank you in advance apple for any update.

I agree: it is annoying. Surely it's a mistake. It's as though the clouds have obscured the sun, and drabness has taken over. It must be an oversight; must be.

iOS 10.0.1 on iPhone 6.

I'm also unhappy to lose the date and time on the notification banner with the latest update to the ios. Is it lost or is there a way to get it back? I used to have the option to view notifications or the date and time. Now I only get notifications when I pull down the screen. I can slide the screen side to side now, but I can't get the date anymore, it seems.

This is one of two issues I have with iOS 10. The other issue being with the default mail app. When I have emails that are pictures that are 10 or more pictures the save insert number images will only save 5. Even if the email has more than that. If anyone else is having that issue please let me know and if you know how to fix that please tell me.

I have the same issue. If have 8 pictures attachment, only 5 are saved. The only way I figured out is to save them one by one, a very primitive solution to say the least... All suggestions are welcome!

Same issue here.
Just contacted Apple support. They made me restore iPhone as new (since I restored it before from backup).
But as you will guess, it's still the same. They reported it as a possible bug with a RFC.
But I also have to go to the Apple Store for this now.. not sure it will help ^^

Hope this will be better in next release...

I noticed the same too with my 6plus and 6s. The screen is clearly 15-20% dimmer on iOS 10. Hope they release a patch soon--very frustrating.

I find that having my wallpaper darker than I want it very irritating. Why would I want a dark background? I want my background the same as the photo I set it as, not a grey, drab, washed out photo.

It is either a terrible feature, or an irritating bug. Either way, it should be rectified.

I don't know how you fix this but I too have this annoying problem, I don't understand why they keep making wallpapers dimmer with every ios update, they look terrible! They really need to fix this soon! Hopefully they'll hear us out...

I have the exact same issue. This is something that was present in all of the betas and I hoped would be worked out for the full gold master iOS 10 release. This is a horrible decision on Apple'a behalf. At least give us the option to turn off the wallpaper dimming.

Apple, please fix this!!!!!

The apple camera and screen are so wonderful to feature an amazing photo for our screensavers . There seems to be a dull filter over the photo you choose in order to feature the apps and their icons. This feature should be something you can choose or reject. I have some incredible photos that look terrible with this feature. This is a MUST FIX issue. We look at our phones all day and for me the aesthetic of a great work of art or photo matter.
