iPhone
XS/XR/8 and iPhone 7/6s plus users after upgrading to iOS 12 are seeing blurry lock
screen. After the iPhone is locked the wallpaper photo set on the lock screen becomes
blurry and the lock screen is completely
blurry on iPhone XS and no camera or
flashlight option lower left-right areas. This surely a bug in the iPhone with
iOS 12/12.1.4 causing lock screen to get blurry .
Further
for some iPhone X users the lock screen getting blurry intermittently. It’s
like once or twice the lock screen is getting blurred and a restart will fix it
but the issue will reoccur again after sometime. While it does seems to be
affected with 3D touch. It seems to start if you try and 3D touch an app and
for some reasons it causes the lock screen wallpaper of iPhone to get blurry.
How to fix iPhone XS/XR blurry lock screen wallpaper :
Fix 1: Check DND Settings
The lock
screen is blurred (and dimmed) in iOS 12 if you have Do Not Disturb and Bedtime
turned on. This is normal behaviour. To turn that off Go to Settings > Do
Not Disturb, and turn DND and Bedtime off. Hopefully this will fix the issue.
Fix 2: Reapply the iOS 12 update
One general
fix for such issues is to restore the iPhone but rather than restoring from
iTunes or iCloud you can reapply the same iOS update. To do that plug iPhone
into computer, turn phone off, restart phone holding power and volume down, and
when the Apple logo appears let go of power but keep holding volume down. If
it’s successful you’ll see the connect to iTunes logo and you can “update” the
phone again.
Fix 3: Hard restart the iPhone
As a
workaround normally a restart to the iPhone will fix the issue for a while but
if this also does not help do a hard reset to iPhone (hold sleep + top volume
button, slide to power off).
Hopefully
this will fix iPhone lock screen blurred issue. Please let us know in comment
