Turn a photo into a soft, blurry wallpaper, so your Home Screen icons and Lock Screen clock stay easy to read. Use your own photos or the included ones.

Bright, colorful photos give the best result.

- Shake your device or double-tap the photo to get another of the included photos.
- To start in the Photos app, open a photo, tap the share button, and choose “Make Blurry Wallpaper”.
