iOS 16 comes with a host of customization options and widgets for the lock screen. Besides, it packs a lot of small yet interesting features that you might not come across right away. One such hidden change is the ability to crop photos to fit as wallpaper on iPhone. Yes, with iOS 16, you can convert a picture to the exact wallpaper dimension directly on your iPhone.

How does a picture fit wallpaper help?

Most of us download custom wallpapers that aren’t always perfectly altered for our device’s screen. We also like to get our picture to fit our iPhone screen.

If you want to make sure the wallpaper or background set by you fits perfectly then you should crop it first. Cropping an image for iPhone wallpaper prevents the need to zoom in or out and manually position it on the screen while applying. Also, you don’t have to worry about the image size or resolution appropriate for your iPhone.

The particular crop wallpaper setting is available in the built-in Photos app. Moreover, the way to crop a wallpaper in iOS 16 is similar to how you crop or change the aspect ratio of a photo on your iPhone or iPad. That said, you cannot make a square photo fit as your iPhone wallpaper.
