Photo standby shows non-iPhone photos with extremely low resolution
I have a lot of images I’ve taken with a DSLR, Mirrorless and Go Pro that are a lot better than the photos I’ve taken on my iPhone, so I’ve saved them to my phone, added them to an album and set them as my standby.
These photos show up in the standby as extremely low resolution. This is also the case when they appear on the ‘featured’ rotation in the standby.
I’ve attached screenshots of the Standby with an Image taken by a DLSR and. I cannot upload the original DLSR image as it’s above 5 MB, but I’ve taken a screenshot of it in Photos which still illustrates the low quality in the standby.
Nikon D800, 19 MP
Screenshot of above image in Photos (due to zoomed to fill image being above 5 MB, this was taken zoomed to fit, then cropped, which reduces quality further)
I can’t add a screenshot of the iPhone image on the standby, as the screenshot is 17 MB, despite the original being 4 MB.
Has anyone else experienced this and can offer a fix. I’m pretty let down that I can’t use any of my ‘nice’ images for the standby.
