Full screen contact picture lost iPhone 6 plus

upgraded my iphone 5 to ios8 and i was so pleased to see the return of fullscreen contact pictures for incoming calls. After getting an iphone 6+ today I am disappointed to see this return to the small round picture at the top of the screen. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Hello everyone. No one is missing a setting or need to do a bodoo ritual to get a full sized photo on incoming call in an iphone. The answer is simple since the phone in his original position has an aspect radio of 9:16 to the phone display a picture in full screen at the incoming call the picture needs to be in the same aspect ratio so there is no blank spaces anywhere and the software proceed to display the contact picture.  Also the picture has to stay in your library.
The procedure to do this in iOS 8:
1- Go to Photos>Camera Roll> Select the picture you wanna set as contact.
2- Touch "Edit" in the right superior corner.
3- Inside Edit mode touch the tool to resize.
4- Set the grid to a position taller than wide.
5- Touch the scale icon in the lower right corner of the screen. Is the one above the "Done" button.
6- Select the last option that reads: "9:16" that is related to the aspect ratio for the selected area.
7- Adjust your image zooming or moving until it reach the desired one.
8- Hit done.
9- Now in Camera Roll set the image to the contact desired. It's done.
Enjoy.

  • Okay...what happened to the full screen contact picture?

    Okay...what happened to the full screen contact picture? Is there a way to get it back? I'd like to see the full picture of the person I'm  calling-not just an ugly blank screen with little round circles on it!!!!

    I wrote my feedback there. Please everyone leave your feedback. The new 7.1 design is very impractical.
    Why they crave so much about these ugly circles? There are lots of unused space available on the screen.
    Please bring back the big rectangular buttons!!!!!!
    And full-screen contact picture when someone's calling.

    Please go back to the full screen contact picture! I didn't know what was happening until I looked at this forum. Why would you change something that works fine?

  • Who do I complain to regarding an Apple iPhone upgrade that has taken my my full screen contact picture and turned it into a tiny circle that is hard to see at a glance!!!

    I'm trying to find an outlet for the frustration I feel regarding the "upgrade" that replaced my full screen picture for my contact numbers to a tiny, little dot in the right hand corner.  Are they going to give us an option to go back or did someone  just need to justify their job by making  changes??

  • Full screen contact pictures

    I just got an iphone 4s and I would like to have my contact pictures be full screen when they call. When I try to edit the picture under their name in contacts, the picture appears blurry. All pictures have been taken with my iphone. Please help!

    Hi Ipen,
    Have you found the cause/solution? I'm having the exact same problem. It started after upgrading to an iPhone 5S with iOS 7, but I don't know if that's the culprit or not.
    One specific detail of my setup — I'm syncing my iPhone contacts with Google Contacts via CardDAV. Are you?
    Thanks,
    Jake

    I bought Iphone Only for full screen contact image
    Is that so? So you don't use ANY of the other features of the iPhone? You don't use the internet, apps, play games, make calls, take pictures, or ANYTHING else at all? You just wanted full-screen contact image?
    I don't believe you...
    Please make changes for contact image for for full screen

  • Full screen contact photos

    I have just updated to iOS 8 and I am trying to get full screen contact photos instead of the small circle in the corner.

    Hey Haigh2911,
    Thanks for the question. Yes, full screen call pictures have returned in iOS 8 for incoming calls. You’ll want to attach a photo to your contact’s card in the Contacts app:

    Additional Information: Here is an example of the full screen call picture:

  • Full screen contact pic troubles

    full screen contact pic not possible even after 1.reset my iphone 2. take photo from phone camera in Edit Contact 3.Change Camera to HDR and interestingly, after saving pic in contact it reverts back to small pic again after a while though a couple of times full screen pic is shown while dialling out or in. But always it becomes a Thumbnail later ! Also, my son's photo is taken from the gallery after I took his pic from the phone and now it is perfect though my other family members and friend's pics do not behave that way even though I have erased the name and inserted it again from scratch - its the same ! And I have noticed , some contacts are possible with full screen pics and some don't though the process is exactly the same ! And no. no Facebook connection either. Like my wife's profile does not exists in the Facebook.

  • How do I view a website over the full screen while using the 6 plus in horizontal mode

    How do I view a website over the full screen while using the iPhone 6 plus in horizontal mod?

    You said you found several domain.sites files.
    iWeb uses one at a time to create webpages.
    Your webpages, your site, has disappeared with MobileMe.
    You have to find a new host and publish there.
    But to publish you need one of your domain files.
    Try iWebSites to open them :

    No, when you get a call it's a small round image of your contact if you have set it up.

  • How to get full screen contact image in iOS 7.1

    There is lot of UI tweaks in 7.1, The main feature which was showcased on debut was full screen contact images. New update got rid of this or anyway around to get this feature

    It seems the apple have removed off this feature, they had a very thing show off in WWDC by Craig. Hope they bring it back in next update

  • How to get contact pictures off iPhone

    I saved a picture with most of my contacts on my iPhone. Now I'd like to get those pictures off of the iPhone and onto a computer. Can someone help?
    So you know, I took the contact pictures from directly within the contact editor. I've tried sync'ing to my computer, but I only get thumbnails on my computer when I want the whole picture (I'm going to transfer the pictures to another iPhone).
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    I have no clue, but don't think resolution is all that crucial.
    Even a low-res picture can help preserve an important memory. Or something that makes a good phone contact picture may likely also make a good avatar for flickr, twitter, etc, and it would not need to be full resolution for such purposes.
    Nothing taken with the iPhone is all that high-res anyhow. IIRC, pix assigned on the phone show up full-screen, so it's probably not as low-res as the teeny photo assigned on the desktop and transferred via sync.
    Incidentally, google turned up this method of retrieval, using the Mac:
    If you click "edit" on the contact's entry in Address Book and then double click inside their picture, it will appear as a somewhat bigger version, which you can copy with command-C. But it's a far cry from full-resolution.
    http://forums.macnn.com/103/ipod-iphone-and-apple-tv/341591/iphone-contact-photo s-how-to-extract/
    I can't test it, though, as I don't sync contacts, and really have no clue whether the iPhone sync contact pictures to Outlook on Windows, which I assume the OP uses.

  • Contact Pictures on iPhone

    When I place or receive calls with some contacts I get a full screen image of the contact, but with others I see my background image and only a small picture of the client. What causes the difference. I would like to see the large contact image for all contacts

    Assuming you are syncing contact info with the Address Book on your Mac, when assigning a photo to a contact with the Address Book on your Mac, the contact's photo will appear postage stamp size when calling the contact or when receiving a call from the contact - just as is shown in the iPhone commercials. When assigning a contact's photo with your iPhone, with a photo captured by your iPhone or from a photo in your iPhone's Photo Library transferred from your computer, the contact's photo will appear full screen when calling the contact or when receiving a call from the contact.
    Long story short, if you want a contact's photo to appear full screen, you need to assign the contact's photo from a photo on your iPhone.

  • Full-Screen Contact ID Photo vs. Thumbnail

    I have tried various methods of assigning a picture to my contacts.  I would like the photo to show up as a full screen picture when the contact calls me, but right now it only pops up as a thumbnail in the upper right next to the name.  Is there an easy fix for this short of downloading and individually assigning each picture on the phone?  That is a very cumbersome prospect.  I use the Address Book application on my desktop to sync contacts every time I sync my phone.  Perhaps there is a preference in Address Book, iTunes or on my iPhone that I need to click (or unclick) to allow full-size syncing?

    Then try using a smaller resolution. I don't see much need in using a really high quality image, with a large resolution to be viewed as a little thumbnail for just a couple of seconds when the person calls.

  • Full screen contact photo

    My contact photo won't display full-screen.  This has been going on since the last update a fewdays ago.  I looked on the web for suggestions, but couldn't find any info since the last update to 7.1
    This happened on a previous update, tried the delete photo and then add like I did last time, but the only option seems to be the circle photo. I am not linking through facebook or any other service for the photo, I have used this picture before.
    iPhone 5
    Any ideas? thanks, bill

    You would have to complain to apple and request to get it back
    I did and told them to at least give us the choice to choose
    The only way to fix this is to voice our feedback
