PiunikaWeb started purely as an investigative tech journalism website with a main focus on ‘breaking’ or ‘exclusive’ news. Or you could simply crop them to the magic size. If it does not help, then your best bet would be to stick with photos shot in the 4:3 aspect ratio instead. Set this as your live wallpaper, as you normally would from the Photos appĭo keep in mind that this workaround for the iPhone live wallpaper black screen issue upon 3D touch hasn’t been tested by us and is hence not guaranteed to work. From that screen, use the Messages app to send the photo to yourselfħ. Hit “Options” at the top and tick “All Photos Data”ĥ. Come out of edit mode so that you are viewing the photo normally in the Photos app, then hit share in the bottom left corner (box with upwards arrow)Ĥ. Then in the top lift corner, mirror the image horizontally.ģ. Edit the photo in the Photos app and hit “crop” in bottom right cornerĢ. Nonetheless, if you are one of the users affected by this bothersome bug, then you might want to try out the following possible workaround that was given out by a user:ġ.

One user also observed that not all images are affected. The issue seems to be affecting older iPhone models as well as the latest ones with bezelless displays including the iPhone 12 series. I noticed that setting live photo lock screens on our iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Max results in a black banding effect, where after pressing to view the Live wallpaper, the animation to begin a Live photo is played, but the screen zooms to the left of the Live wallpaper, almost like it was dragging the photo off the screen.Īs clear from the above, the iPhone live photo lock screen wallpaper appears to sort of shift to the side, outside of the viewable area upon a 3D touch, leaving a big chunk of a black screen. But when I’ve set the photo and do the tap, the clip that plays is cropped entirely wrong and shows only on part of the screen, a large chunk of the screen remains turns black. So I am attempting to set a photo I’ve taken as my lock screen wallpaper and having the live photo available for tap.
