Many people love Blurred Background mode, but want more control over how it looks—especially the ability to choose how strong the blur is and even switch the background from blurred to solid black when that’s easier to read.

With this improvement, you could:

• Adjust blur strength: pick anything from a light blur to a very strong blur (including a stronger option like this example: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIg0LKmPUwe/)

• Choose what the background becomes in Blurred mode: keep it blurred or swap it to a solid black background instead of blur

• Fine-tune readability and style: make foreground content stand out the way you prefer, based on taste and viewing environment

Why this matters:

• Cleaner, more polished look for your content

• Better focus and readability, especially with a solid black background option

• Personal preference support: everyone can match the background to what looks best to them
