3 Easy Ways To Fix iOS 17 Wallpaper Blur at Top

Part I. Why Is iOS 17 Blurring Your Wallpaper?

If you've upgraded to iOS 17, you may notice your wallpaper acting a bit blurry. Don't worry, cause you're not alone. This mysterious iOS 17 wallpaper blur phenomenon can be annoying, but let's demystify it.

Wallpaper Blur in iOS 17 Explained

In iOS 17, the operating system applies a subtle blur effect to your iOS 17 wallpaper, especially at the top where your notifications live. The intention behind this is to create a more harmonious and elegant visual experience. However, what might be an aesthetic choice for some can become a source of frustration for others.

How It Affects Your Experience

The blurry wallpaper might not be a big issue for everyone, but it can be bothersome for those who like crisp, clear visuals. The top screen of your device is where you interact with your notifications and see critical information at a glance. When the wallpaper is blurry, it can make the text and icons harder to read and diminish the overall aesthetics of your device.

The impact extends beyond aesthetics; it affects the usability of your device. Imagine trying to read a notification, but the text is somewhat distorted due to the wallpaper blur. It can slow down your interactions and reduce the joy of using your iOS 17 device.

Now that you've discovered why iOS 17 blurs your wallpaper and how it can impact your experience, the next parts of this article will guide you through simple and practical solutions to fix this issue and bring back the clarity to your device's top screen.

Part II. 3 Simple Solutions for Wallpaper Blur on iOS 17

The frustration of dealing with iOS 17 wallpaper blur on top is truly understandable. The good thing is there are simple solutions right at your fingertips. In this part of the article, you can explore these built-in settings and easy DIY fixes to bring clarity back to your device's top screen.

Method 1. Choosing a Wallpaper of Proper Size

One of the easiest ways to combat iOS 17 wallpaper blur is to start with a wallpaper of the right size. When the wallpaper's dimensions perfectly match your device's screen, iOS 17 is less likely to apply that unwanted blur.

How to do it?

You just need to find a high-quality image that fits your device's screen resolution. It should be the same size as your device's display, which you can check in your device settings or the table provided below:

Once you have the correct-sized image, set it as your wallpaper. iOS 17 will apply less blur since it doesn't need to adjust the image to fit the screen.

Method 2. Avoid Zooming In or Zooming Out the Wallpaper

Until Apple adds a setting to control the iOS 17 wallpaper blur, here's a solution that should be sufficient in most situations. When you scale an image in iOS to match your iPhone's display, you may notice that the wallpaper becomes blurry. Don't adjust the wallpaper's zoom level by clicking and dragging the image's corner handles. If you're experiencing wallpaper blur on iOS 17, leave it as is.

Below, you can see that the wallpaper's blur effect is only activated when you zoom in or out.

How to do it?

Still, you can crop the photo and play about with the settings to get the desired result. How? Read on below!

• Step 1: To change the wallpaper on your iPhone, launch the Photos app and select the image you want to use.
• Step 2: Click the three dots "..." in the upper right corner, then press Duplicate. Doing so will protect the original photo from being overwritten.

• Step 3: Pick one of these two pictures. Tap Crop and zoom out the image to fill the entire iPhone screen. You may also select Edit from the menu in the top right of the screen, then crop and refine the image as desired. Once finished, tap the Done button.

• Step 4: The final step is to use the cropped image as your wallpaper.

Method 3. Opting for a Darker Wallpaper

If you're concerned about the wallpaper blur in iOS 17, you may want to try a darker background. Why? Because the contrast between the backdrop and the blurred components is less noticeable in darker wallpapers or photos. This makes the blur less apparent. If you are truly concerned about your wallpapers being blurred out in iOS 17, it is recommended that you use a darker background.

Following these three simple steps, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate the wallpaper blur issue in iOS 17. Now, your device's top screen can clearly display your chosen wallpaper, enhancing aesthetics and functionality.
