Why is my iPhone 15 Pro Max wallpaper appeared zoomed in? I have read some posts that said I have to open the pictures in the iOS photo app and crop it to the correct aspect ratio. What's the correct aspect ratio? I cropped my images in Adobe Lightroom because that's the majority of my photos came from. I have cropped it to 19.5 by 9. Isn't this the "correct" aspect ratio?

iphone 15 wallpaper pinch to crop is broken On the new iPhone 15 and iOS 16, trying to set an image as a wallpaper with the nice blur effect at the top no longer works. The phone will completely ignore whatever crop I set and instead zoom the photo in too far when I hit “done”. Please fix this! I would love to set the crop on my photos again.

Move it when pinched.

If pinch to crop/move is not working then it indicates the Photo is already in the correct size for a wall paper and can't be further pinched.
