What Is Vertiblur Shortcut?

Vertiblur is an iPhone wallpaper customization Shortcut for people who want a different Home Screen or Lock Screen appearance.

Its main feature is simple: it blurs one half of your wallpaper while leaving the other half clear.

This creates a contrast between the blurred area and the original image, giving your iPhone wallpaper a unique look.

Vertiblur runs through Apple's Shortcuts app. You do not need to install an IPA file or jailbreak your iPhone.

You can use the Shortcut with a wallpaper image and follow the available steps to create a half-blurred design.

Once the wallpaper is ready, save the image and apply it to your iPhone Home Screen or Lock Screen.

Vertiblur is listed for iOS 15 and later. However, the exact compatibility of older Shortcut versions with newer iOS releases may vary.

Unlike jailbreak theming tools, Vertiblur does not replace app icons, change system files or install third-party apps.
