I noticed strange problem with pictures on my iPhone 6. All my photos are stored on iCloud, so my device keeps only light versions of them. But it seems that light versions of pre-iPhone 6 photos were not updated after I switched from iPhone 4s, so they do not match the bigger screen. In effect - for example - I cannot set those pictures as wallpapers, because they look blurry (even if they are downloaded to my device in full size):

I found a workaround: I have to make a screenshot of this full-sized picture and make the wallpaper from the screenshot (I guess it generates new "light" version of the picture, this time matched to iPhone 6's screen size):

Do you know any easy method to force the phone to replace all old photo miniatures with the new ones in the Photo App?
