Step by Step Tutorial: Making Contact Photos Full Screen on iPhone Calls

Before diving into the steps, let’s understand what we are about to do. We will be assigning a full-screen photo to your contacts so that when they call, their picture will fill the entire screen, giving your iPhone a more personalized touch.

Step 1: Open the Contacts App

Open the Contacts app on your iPhone.

This is where all your saved contacts are stored. You can find the Contacts app on your home screen or by searching for it in the spotlight search.

Step 2: Select a Contact

Tap on the contact you want to assign a full-screen photo to.

Make sure you choose the right contact. If you have multiple entries for the same person, pick the one you use most often.

Step 3: Tap Edit

Tap the ‘Edit’ button in the top-right corner of the contact’s profile.

This will allow you to make changes to the contact’s information, including their photo.

Step 4: Tap Add Photo

Tap on the ‘add photo’ icon or the existing photo if one is already assigned.

You can choose a photo from your library or take a new one. Make sure the photo is clear and centered.

Step 5: Adjust the Photo

Position and scale the photo so that it fills the entire screen.

You can pinch to zoom in or out and drag to position the photo just right. The photo should fill the entire circle on the screen.

Step 6: Tap Done

Once you’re happy with how the photo looks, tap ‘Done’ in the top-right corner.

This will save the changes you’ve made. The contact will now have a full-screen photo when they call.

After completing these steps, the next time the contact calls you, their photo will be displayed in full-screen mode. This feature not only adds a personal touch to your calls but also makes it easier to see who is calling at a glance.
