Wallpaper and Locked screen Photos

How can I resize the photos on the wallpaper and locked screens?
I have photos send to me in either iMsg or Whatsapp and the photos need to be resized when I want to use them as a wallpaper or locked screen.

Use a photo editor, or a third-party app like Insta-Fix, which works very well to resize photos for use as wallpaper on i-devices. You can also take a screenshot of the photo and use that as your wallpaper.

  • Wallpaper and lock screen in iOS7

    Is anyone else having a problem with photos going GIANT in your lock screen.  When I try to scale it, it just keeps bouncing back to HUGE.  The photo I had in my phone as the lock screen doesn't work now, and every photo I try comes out gigantic.
    Can someone help with that??
    Thanks

    A lot of people are having this problem. I chatted with a developer earlier tonight and she said that it's been present ever since the 5th Beta version of iOS 7, which is absolutely amazing that no one either reported it or that Apple didn't care to fix it.

  • Wallpaper and lock screen glitchy after updating to OS 4.0, using 3GS, help

    can anyone help me? there seems to be issues with the wallpaper display and home screen, the display is glitchy with rows of off colored pixels...

    Hi,
    I posted this post earlier today after upgrading this morning and finding I couldn't access a particular site. You may be having the same problem, it would be helpful to know if you are:

    Basically I am trying to use a site that has an unregistered digital certificate. That might be the case with your campus login too. Often logins use a digital cert. to hide the password in transit, and often they use an unregistered one to avoid the cost of getting a real cert.
    You can check this by using a laptop or something that won't crash and checking the certificate on the login screen by double-clicking the padlock icon in the bottom-right of the browser when it comes up.
    Let me know if you don't mind, by replying to this, either way.
    Thanks.

  • HT4623 Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??

    Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??  Installed ios7 this morning. Tried to use one of my photos from camera roll as background for lock screen and I can't scale the photo to fit the screen.  Never had a problem before and now when I pinch the photo to get it to the right size of the screen, it won't stay that way. The photo is enlarged way beyond the screen size so it doesn't look right. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello, cliffiapp4.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.  
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • How do I remove the lock screen photo?

    IOS 7.1.2, iPhone 5S... I selected a photo to replace the standard black color on my lock screen.  I don't like the photo and want the old look back.  How do I clear the lock screen photo?  The closest I can come is to select the plain black background, but it's not like the old one; it has some gray texture in it.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • How to delete lock screen photo image from camera while retaining the default images?

    Hi,
    I've recently took a picture using my camera and set it as a lock screen photo. However, I can't delete the custom lock screen photo after deleting my camera picture on my laptop. I would not know what will happen if I were to reset my entire system as I
    have two separate accounts; one of the accounts is not a Microsoft account. If i were to reset my computer system, some of the applications might not be there as the laptop had a custom setting when I bought it.
    How do I delete the cached photo in my computer?(The one without a Microsoft account)

    Hi,
    Do we have any backup available?
    If yes, we may consider to use system restore point to return to a state that could be able to change/delete the lock screen picture.
    Best regards

    It's too late now to worry about not having backed up. You have to restore the iPad or .....
    A. You can have a device that still has all of the photos on it but you can't get to them because the device doesn't work
    or.....
    B. You can restore, lose the photos and have a functioning device again.

  • How to mute and lock screen rotation at the same time? Loved this feature in iOS 5.

    How to mute and lock screen rotation at the same time? Loved this feature in iOS 5.

    You cannot do two different simultaneous VISA writes over a serial bus. There is a single rx line on the pc's com port and a single rx line on the instrument. You only hope is if the instrument allows you to chain commands and the reception of the carriage return triggers the instrument to implement both at the same time. Maybe you can send CTS01 and CTS02 separated by a space or comma. The manual should tell you if that's possible or maybe you need to ask the manufacturer.

  • I dropped my iPhone 5c and it wont turn on but its constantly vibrating. I have tried holding the home and lock screen for a long time but nothing has happened. How can I fix this?

    You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.

  • Lock screen photo is blurry

    All of a sudden, my lock screen photo appears blurry.  I used different photos, including Apple provided photos.  No difference.  Home screen photos are not blurry. 
    Does anyone have a fix?
    Thanks.

    Apple clearly desinged the lockscreen to blur, whenever anything other than the TIME has to display there.
    Took me a long time to realize that, for me, the problem was audio playback. For others, it is notifications, texts, etc.
    Whenever you use AUDIO, the iOS displays the "playback control buttons" on the lockscreen, which causes the blurred background [presumably in order to better see the displayed info]. But, as soon as I PAUSE, the screen clears right up.
    If your issue is notifications, this should be fixable; because you should be able to NOT DISPLAY notifications on the lockscreen.
    I will be checking to see if there is an option to NOT display the "playback control buttons" on the lockscreen - given new control center, those buttons are no longer even necessary, especially when I can access the control center from the lockscreen.
    We need to request that apple add option to STOP blur effect on the lockscreen.
    You will NOT see this effect on the home screen; because, in theory, the iOS does not "display info" there - only icons.
    Hope this helps! Been very annoying for me, as well!

    Are you sure you have the 3GS and not the 3G. The problem you are describing sounds like you have a 3G only.
