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.
That is not what we're talking about. That is an iOS 16 feature to blur the entire background. We are referring to pinching to zoom out on a photo you set as a wallpaper and only the top of the phone blurs. The entire bottom half stays as is.
I doubt Apple will do anything about it no matter how much we complain. I shared a screenshot to show what the issue is that we are experiencing since some people don't seem to understand what we are talking about and I received an email last night that Apple removed it because it didn't pertain to the topic at hand or some ridiculous non-sense. The screenshot was nothing offensive, it was simply a pic of my Dog that I had made a wallpaper to show how the top half of the screen is completely blurred out after cropping.
Greetings! I was wondering if there is a way to lighten or remove the iPhone wallpaper gradient that appears beneath the springboard bar. I know it can be done via jailbreak, but maybe there's a way without having to do that? Like an app of some sort?
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.
So to pay homage to our new, neighborhood friends, I created this snarky iPhone wallpaper! It looks really cute with my purple Otterbox and those leaves in the background have me extra excited for fall! This wallpaper is sized for iPhone and iPhone Plus, so everyone can enjoy it!

The Pexels website has over 1,000 free iPhone backgrounds, and more are added every day. You can scroll for ages through landscapes, fruit, surreal art, cityscapes and more. Simply search iPhone wallpaper on the site and apply any filters you'd like -- orientations, sizes and color schemes. It's free to download images, but if you want to favorite or collect images on the site, you'll need to create a free account.
Pixabay is another option for iPhone wallpapers. Similar to Pexels, simply search iPhone wallpaper in Pixabay to find a background you like. You can also filter photos, vector graphics, illustrations and more. Once you find an image, tap Free Download and choose the dimensions that best fit your phone.
Similarly to Pixabay and Pexels, Unsplash has thousands of free images to search for the perfect iPhone wallpaper. The site has an Instagram-like feel where you can follow the photographers and artists, as well as like and collect images. Its more social features like collecting, favoriting and following artists require that you make an account.
Pinterest is one of my favorite places to find phone wallpaper that matches my personality. It's not difficult to become familiar (or obsessed!) with the photo-sharing site. Simply download the free app and make an account -- also free.
Search any image you like -- or more specifically iPhone wallpaper -- and tap to open it. You'll see a Read It button (opens corresponding articles that the image appears in) and Save (which lets you "pin" the image to a board.) Tap the three-dot Settings button for more options and choose Download Image.
Remember the blogging site Tumblr? It's still out there and is a fun place to find new wallpaper for your phone. You'll need an account to explore the app to the fullest, but like Pinterest, you can search images from Tumblr through Google. To save a photo -- in the app or through a Google search -- tap the photo and then long-press. You'll be able to find the new image in your Camera Roll. For dedicated wallpaper, you can search "iPhone wallpaper."
Aspect ratio is just a fancy way of saying the relationship between the picture's width and height. It's really important to get this right if you want your phone's wallpaper to look good.
To resize an image to fit as an iPhone wallpaper, select the picture you want to resize from your phone or camera roll, tap the Resize button in the Settings app, enter the new dimensions, and save the changes.
Starting with iOS 16, your iPhone's lock screen is so much more than just a long list of alerts and a clock stacked atop your wallpaper. You can now customize the first screen you see every time you pick up or wake your iPhone, including the font and color used for the clock. You'll also have the option to add widgets to your lock screen, giving you quick access to an app or information.
Of course, the new lock screen is getting plenty of attention after users update, and for good reason. It's just too much fun to use. Below I'll walk you through everything you need to know about picking your own interactive wallpaper, customizing the clock, and then adding widgets.
Widgets are an important part of the new lock screen experience on your iPhone, but the entire setup starts with being able to customize your wallpaper and the clock. It sounds rather mundane, but the truth is you can do some really cool things with your lock screen, photos, and the clock that in some ways bring your iPhone's screen to life -- all before you've ever unlocked your phone.
