So basically there is a button and when you press button you go to photo library and chose background and background is set but the issue is that background cuts more than 75% of the original picture what to do. I tried all resizing options but nothing seems to fix.

Hi there, 👋

Are u setting the picked image as **Screen** background or any **Column/Row** Background?

For the best view of the image, try using **contain** or **center** resize mode. 😄

Thanks.

We appear to be having some issues with the background image, at least for Columns. We’re looking into it.

@jxbclothes69gc7, is this on Android or iOS or both?

It’s on iOS and Android both and another issue is if you set background via blocks section. Thunkable will automatically remove background and replace it with error icon kindly fix this ASAP I addressed this issue 1-2 months ago and still not action
