Can’t blur Home Screen wallpaper iOS 16

I tried several wallpapers (the same for lock and Home Screen) like nature and portraits but the blur options doesn’t work for any of them. When I don’t use the blur option for the Home Screen wallpaper it appears just like the Lock Screen. When I apply the blur effect it turns into a solid color, not blurring the wallpaper. I use an iPhone 12. On my girlfriend’s iPhone XS this blur function does work. I added two photos, one with and one without the blur option on

iPhone 12

I faced the same issue and this worked for me.


Try resetting all settings.


This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings, change your wallpaper and tone settings, and rearrange your applications. This will not remove any content from your device though, and you can set those settings back easily once it is done.


You can do this by going to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Reset > Reset All Settings.
