Hi,
  1. Go to the "Photos" icon and chose the photo you want to use,
  2. On bottom left click on icon of "box with arrow coming out of it,"
  3. Chose "Use as Wallpaper"....It should come up with "Move and Scale" on top,
  4. Using one finger you can move the photo around, and
  5. Using 2 fingers together you can resize by moving fingers apart or together til desired size!
  6. Then click on "Set."
Hope this helps!

Can you email the picture to yourself and then open the mail on your computer? Then save the picture to your computer, go to where you set your wallpaper and see if you have an option of using a pic from your computer. I have a photo program that allows me to set wallpaper from a picture in my picture files.

Default Misunderstood

Sorry, I may have misunderstood.

The intructions I posted earlier were for using an IPhone photo for your IPHONE wallpaper!

If you want to use the photo on your PC's desktop:

For Windows 7 PC
  1. Send it to yourself in an email.
  2. Save the email attached photo on your hard drive.
  3. If desired, you can resize it in any photo manipulation program
  4. Go to Control Panel > Personalization
  5. At bottom, click on Desktop Background Icon,
  6. Browse to desired photo, Select it & Save Changes.

Try this and it should work!

Thanks so much for your time and help. I was successful in getting the picture up as wallpaer on my desktop screen. However, the picture was blurred. I,have come to,the conclusion iPhone pics cannot be enlarged to screen size. Guess it is back to,the camera.

Thanks again.
