Description

Got a landscape photo that won’t fit your iPhone wallpaper? The new Extend tool in the Photos app in iOS 27 uses AI to expand any picture, old or new, beyond its original frame, generating new content that blends in naturally. I’ll show you how to find it, pick a new shape like portrait, compare it against the original, and then set your extended photo as the perfect wallpaper.
