Background When Receiving Notifications

I will try my best to explain this the best that I can......

 

When I get a text or a notification, the background/wallpaper goes blurry.  The same happens when I make a call, the contacts picture goes blurry, but it doesn't happen when I receive a call.  I presume it is meant to be like that but it wasn't like this prior to the ios 7 update.

 

I know this may be regarded as a fancy feature or something that people like but I don't particularly like it.  Does anybody know if it is possible to turn it off? I know other features of ios7 can be turned off but up to now I am unable to find anything to turn this off, or if it is even possible?

In order to remove blur effects in iOS 7, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Increase Contrast > On.

 

If you do that, the backround will turn black, no more blur but also when you call someone, the backround will also be black.

I also already have reduce motion enabled and it makes no difference but thanks for the suggestion MI5.
Not all Apple features are loveable perksie lol - it just depends on user preferences and if it's their cup of tea or not.
It's not a major issue, I just don't particularly like it.  I guess I will have to wait for the update and hope that it includes an option to change this feature.

That's the problem with Apple and why I refuse to have anything to do with them..... They decide what I like - I don't think so wink

I'm well aware of that, which is why I use an alternative, among many other reasons.

Normally i'd say i'd like to see who i'm talking to (if it's my contacts) but i guess that is what facetime is for lol.

 

I'll give it a go now and see if it works.
