After updating my iPhone to iOS 17.1.1 i've figured out that the blur effect on Home Screen wallpaper isn't working anymore. Even after reboot my phone, changing the picture or turning OFF/ON the blur effect.
On my iphone 12, same ios17.1.1, same problem, this solution did work. Even though, within Settings, after adding blur and clicking done, the Wallpaper selection page still showed it as unblurred. Nonetheless, taking the next step, quitting Settings completely still revealed a blurred wallpaper.

c) Anytime you change your Wallpaper choice (I have about 10 on my phone that I move between depending on my mood) ... for any Wallpapers that use a single image, blur holds Ok ... any wallpapers that use two images lose the blur setting ... even though the customisation screen shows it is in play.... you then need to unset it, quite Settings, go back into settings and re-set it and quit settings again... should stay until you change your Wallpaper.
I can make the background image blurry, but I believe all of you here when you restart your iPhone the wallpaper will no longer be blurred, it's not like iOS 16. I bet this is a bug in iOS 17, I hope Dev fixes this.
It was introduced with iOS 17 for me, the first update gave me the bug. It's supposed to be a feature that blends the wallpaper to the top of the screen, instead it cuts off half of my photos for absolutely no reason. I have opened a case with Apple on the matter as well. But more people need to do the same to make them aware of it.
Hi i have this problem too. I am a student and want to have a wallpaper of thing i need to memorize and look at everyday and i cant because apple doesnt have a feature to turn it off. Hopefully they come out with it soon ecause this is super inconvinient
Temporary Solution: Go to the image in your photos app, go to crop. Click on the third button from the right that looks like multiple screens overlapped. Select 'wallpaper' and adjust the photo from there. Save it and set it as your wallpaper.
I have a photo set as my current iPhone wallpaper, which I would like to save. I have forgotten where I stored this file on my computer originally, so I can't easily go back to place it back on my phone. It has since been deleted from my camera roll.
You cannot export the wallpaper, depending on the pattern (if it were repetitive) it would be possible to take screen shots and after emailing these to your self you could edit in Photoshop (other editing software is available)
One way that may require the help of an octopus is to go to Wallpaper settings click on wallpaper preview that is not the lock screen and pinch the image so it shrinks in the screen - this will get the "Cancel/Set" buttons out of the image. If you let go of the pinch, it'll bounce back, so the trick is to pinch and screen grab at the same time. Then you can crop out the wallpaper setting details in newly captured image in Photos. I was able to do this with four fingers on two hands (no feet required :)) on an iPhone 4s, not sure how dexterous you need to be on an iPhone 6 or 6 plus.
With iOS 7 installed on my iPhone 5 and while viewing my lock screen I plugged a power cable into my phone. For a split second all the text overlays disappeared from my lock screen then a battery power status icon appeared. If you are quick you can take a screen grab of the clean wallpaper.
Important to note
Before doing this, go to Settings->Wallpaper and make sure "Perspective Zoom" is turned off. Otherwise when setting this newly captured image as a wallpaper it is automatically scaled up so you will lose some information around the edges.
Easy( if lock screen wallpaper) just go to settings wallpaper the selet the lock screen one and pinch the wallpaper with fingers and bring it in the middle may take a few tries and thats when you screenshot. Crop later.
Always upload your pictures to Google Photos. I found my wallpaper photo from 5 years ago of my daughters by searching on my Google Photos list by my daughter's name. Google photos will index all your photos. Just assign a name to a person in one of your photos, and Google will find all matching photos and assign that name to them. Even group photos will be found under multiple names.
I just took screen shot (simultaneously press wake/on and home buttons) of wallpaper photo on old iphone 5. I will crop out the bottom homepage icons. Before taking screen shot, to get a clear wallpaper photo without icons, I moved all icons off the last page of homepage except one icon which I transferred to bottom icon bar. When I initially moved all the icons off last homepage, the last page disappeared so I moved last icon to bottom icon bar in order to get clear wallpaper photo for screen shot.
Just take a screenshot of all the default screenshot choices in settings where you change wallpapers. Then take the saved image and zoom up on the one you like and crop it. It's indistinguishable from the full-size image.
Dragged the image onto the simulator (iOS 9.3) as @boltclock suggests, but nothing happened. However, I then noticed that the images I dragged were showing up in the Photos app on the simulator. From there I just set the wallpapers the same way that you set them on a physical device. Did not need to restart the simulator.

One of the easiest ways to spruce up your iPhone and make it feel new is to change up your wallpaper, on your Lock Screen, Home Screen, or both. Although even the iPhone 15 Pro Max doesn't have a 4K resolution, downloading a 4K or 8K wallpaper ensures the image will appear sharp and vivid on your screen.
Luckily, finding the best iPhone 4K wallpapers is an easy task with so many great apps and sites to browse through. We've rounded up 7 of the best places to visit to find your next 4K iPhone wallpaper.
There are some beautifully vivid 4K iPhone wallpapers on Pixabay, as well as options that are more dark and moody.

You can use the site through a browser or download Pixabay on the App Store.
Although Zedge does have a few nature-focused wallpapers, it's one of the best places to find futuristic 4K iPhone wallpapers with bright colors and odd shapes or swirls. There are plenty of options on Zedge's website, but a few premium wallpapers can only be found in the Zedge mobile app. The app includes multiple live, dynamic wallpapers and free ringtones you can use for your contacts, alarms, or notifications.
Pexels features a ton of high-quality iPhone wallpapers to choose from, many of which are nature-focused. You'll feel serene every time you look at your wallpaper of a starry night sky, crashing waves, or a gorgeous sunset.

The Live Wallpapers for Me app is the perfect place to find moving iPhone wallpapers, also known as dynamic or living wallpapers. Rather than a static image on your Lock Screen, you'll see a video with waves crashing on a beach, a butterfly flapping its wings, or colored smoke moving across your screen.
