Wallpaper Colors Washed Out on Iphone

Whenever i apply a wallpaper all the colors seem to get washed out and less colorful, i tried everything in the settings disabling night mode, true tone etc. but nothing worked. The image looks good in the preview but as soon as i apply it all the colors are gone. And i should be precise that it is not darkened, just less vibrant. And yes it happens with all the photos i apply.

I have an Iphone 11 pro max running on the latest IOS 27.0

Have you tried to force restart the iPhone to see if the issues persist?


  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
