Lock Screen cropping

I constantly have to re-crop my home and Lock Screen because it keeps resetting to this default position. Why won’t the photos just stay in the position I put them in permanently?

Good day to you Aid___n, 


Here are the steps below to changing and personalizing the Lock Screen on an iPhone. These steps will ensure that you are able to personalize your lock screen properly.


Personalize your iPhone Lock Screen


Customize your Lock Screen photo

If you choose a photo for your Lock Screen, you can reposition the photo, change the photo style, and more.
• Reposition your photo: To reposition your selected image, pinch open to zoom in on it, drag the image with two fingers to move it, then pinch closed to zoom out.
• Change the photo style: Swipe left or right to try different photo styles with complementary color filters and fonts.
• Create a multilayered effect: If you have a photo that supports layering—like an image with people, pets, or the sky—tap the three dots at the bottom right, then choose Depth Effect.
Note: The multilayered effect is available on supported models. Layering may not be available if the subject is too high, too low, or obscures too much of the clock.
• Set the shuffle frequency: If you choose Photo Shuffle, you can preview the photos by tapping the button with six squares, and set the shuffle frequency by tapping the three dots, then selecting an option below Shuffle Frequency.

Tip: Alternatively, you can add a photo directly from your photo library to your Home Screen and Lock Screen. In the Photos app, tap Library, select a photo, then tap the share button. Scroll down and select Use as Wallpaper, tap Done, then choose whether to show it on both your Home Screen and Lock Screen.



Thanks.
