Blur intensity changes unexpectedly on navigation (iOS)

[iqraKhaliq]

Description
On iOS, the blur effect appears inconsistent when navigating between screens. The blur amount visibly changes (either increases or decreases) after navigation, even though the same blur configuration is used.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Render a screen with a blurred component (e.g., card/header background).
2. Navigate to another screen.
3. Navigate back to the original screen.
4. Observe the blur intensity.

Expected behavior
The blur intensity should remain consistent across renders and navigation transitions.

Actual Behavior
The blur intensity changes after navigation. It looks stronger/weaker compared to the initial render.
