Has anyone noticed the thumbnails for your albums in photos (iPhone 13 Pro here) since 15.1 are now displaying in low res? They used to be sharp as a tack. Nothing else has changed, the actual photos are great, it’s just the album thumbnails. It’s driving me crazy, I think I’m nuts but I’m not sure.

15.1 hasn’t fixed my random touch issues either :(

Seriously what’s the point of betas when stuff like this (among many other bugs) makes it through?

I had this same blur on music album artworks prior to 15.1. Don’t know if it’s still present.

Edit: blurred album artwork is still present in 15.1.

Thank you guys! I thought maybe I never noticed it? But I KNEW I wasn’t crazy.

I would get the album art issue once in a while but it eventually would fix itself.

This is so damn annoying, I restored my phone to see if it fixed it… it doesn’t.
 
Thank goodness I thought it was just me. At first I initially thought that Photos was doing some sort of background stuff after the update but seems not like it… Super annoying!!!

Also, is anyone here experiencing what I am going through in terms of taking photos? Like right after snapping from the Camera app and you click the image, it’s completely blurred out and won’t register touch inputs (like double tap to zoom) for about 5 seconds. It seems it’s still loading data from the photo. But for that long?!

It was never like this in iOS 14. I regret updating. I was hoping to roll back but no IPSW file available for 14.8.1.

Hope those with similar experiences can lay them out here as well

how did they even break this? Are we all on 13 Pro’s? It’s like the OS isn’t optimized for the new screen yet? I still feel the swiping and touch isn’t as accurate as my 12 and older were.

More like how do they not notice it?

No 13 here, xs max.
 
Maybe it's not everyone? What's the common denominator that us with the issue have if it's not everyone? I setup my phone as new (yesterday) didn't work.
