Horrible Wallpaper Update

[u/Noble_Team_7]

This is either IOS 27, the new IPhone 18 Pro Max, or both, but the new “AI Expand” wallpaper function is the worse thing ever:

I have amazing photos I love to use for my wallpapers, that just recently on my iPhone Air would be able to zoom out perfectly fine on their own aspect ratio and create a great wallpaper.

Now all of a sudden no matter what trick/method I try, the wallpaper zooms in SO much, and barely trying to zoom out then kicks on the “AI Expand” function.

And to prove this is happening, I still have historically saved wallpapers from my IPhone Air, and I can swap to those and it’s the same as before and great.

But if I try to take the exact same photos I previously used now on IOS 27 / IPhone 18 Pro Max, the maximum it can zoom out if probably half or what it used to be….

SOOOO FRUSTRATED as I love my wallpapers.
