How to Stop Automatic Wallpaper Resize, Zoom, and Movement on iPhone
1. Disable Perspective Zoom on iPhone or iPad
This is a permanent solution to disable the iPhone wallpaper from moving due to device tilt. From now on, when you tilt your iPhone or iPad, the wallpaper stays fixed. It does not move or unnecessarily zoom. Note: In steps 4 and 5, if you choose a personal image for wallpaper, then after you turn off Perspective Zoom (step 6), you can use two-finger to pinch in and altogether remove any zoom or image resize from the wallpaper.
2. Enable Low Power Mode on iPhone and iPad
When you enable Low Power Mode on your iPhone, Perspective Zoom is automatically disabled. It stays that way as long as your phone is in this power-conserving state. To enable low power mode, follow the steps below. You may also see how to customize and add an icon to the iPhone Control Center to enable or disable Low Power Mode quickly.
3. Turn ON Reduce Motion on iPhone and iPad
If you are prone to motion sickness and get uncomfortable with the fluid motion of user interface in iOS, like app opening, app switching, and wallpaper moving, then there is a way to cut down these effects altogether. As evident, this also stops the wallpaper animation on your iPhone or iPad. Here is how to turn on Reduce Motion. Now, head over to your iPhone’s home screen and move the device. You will see that the wallpaper stays fixed. It does not move or zoom in either direction.
4. Use Wallpaper of Precise Resolution for iPhone or iPad
Another trick to stop wallpaper zooming, resizing, and stretching on the iPhone is to use images that match the resolution of the particular model. Here are screen display resolutions of all modern iPhones and iPads.
