iOS 16 packs a lot of new stuff including a host of customizations for the Lock Screen.

You can now shuffle wallpapers, enable full-screen album art on iPhone Lock Screen, make picture fit wallpaper, and much more. In addition, you can apply a solid color background and gradient wallpapers to the Home Screen.

Blurred Home Screen on iOS 16

If you’re on iOS 16 then you must have noticed a blurry wallpaper on your iPhone Home Screen. Well, this isn’t any bug but a new feature that applies blur to your Home Screen background.

The blur effect on the home screen is a cool feature to have as it improves readability and makes the app icons stand out.

People who prefer a clean home screen with a subtle background would surely like it. The blurry home screen in iOS 16 in a way also resembles the App Library.

It’s worth noting that blur is automatically applied to Home Screen when you add a new Lock Screen. However, the blur setting is preserved when you only change the home screen wallpaper in iOS 16.

The blurry effect also affects multiple wallpapers that you may set to rotate either automatically, on tap, or on lock.

How do I fix a blurry iPhone Home Screen?

Perhaps, if you like unmessy and minimalist wallpapers with a soft and neutral color scheme then you might want to avoid blur. Even more so because Apple doesn’t let you adjust the intensity of the blur. Though you can use Blear, a free app to set your preferred blur level.

Fortunately, iOS 16 doesn’t force upon the blurred home screen and provides a setting to turn the blur on or off. That said, new and non-tech savvy users might find it difficult to make their home screen not blurry. That’s simply because the option to unblur the home screen on iOS 16 sits deep down in the settings.

Nevertheless, here’s how you can get rid of the blurred background on your iPhone running iOS 16.

How to remove blur from Home Screen in iOS 16

  1. Go to Settings > Wallpaper.
  2. Tap on “Customise” under the Home Screen pane. how to get rid of blurred background on iPhone
  3. Tap on the “Blur” icon at the extreme right to remove blur from your current home screen. You can see the change right above. how to unblur home screen in ios 16
  4. Hit ‘Done’ to apply.

That’s it. The blur effect will now be removed from your current home screen wallpaper.

NOTE: Since blur is applied to the home screen by default, you have to explicitly disable blur every time you create a new lock screen.

How to unblur Home Screen from iOS 16 Lock Screen

Follow the steps below to directly turn off the blur for Home Screen when applying a new Lock Screen.

  1. Touch and hold (long-press) an empty area on the lock screen while your iPhone is unlocked.
  2. Tap the + button to add a new Lock Screen and choose the desired wallpaper. You can also use Photo Shuffle to set multiple wallpapers. add new lock screen on ios 16

    I have the opposite problem. I does not get blurry. It just changes to solid color when I press the blurry button.

    Anyone else noticed the same problem?
