iPhone 11 Pro front camera problem

Hi!


i just got my iPhone 11 Pro and I am experiencing problems with the front facing camera.


Whenever I am using Snapchat or instagram to make the video with the front camera and trying to zoom in the picture is not smooth. By this I mean that the video is not recorded smoothly during the zoom and it appears I be somewhat step-zooming.


Does anyone else experience this?


Thanks

I tried calling apple support and they basically said it wasn’t a flaw on their end since the camera works fine but not in third party apps... they said maybe Snapchat has to update stuff. I tried contacting Snapchat but nothing. It’s so infuriating when you buy a camera for photo quality and something doesn’t work properly . Third party or not it’s all connected.

Same problem discovered after just 30 minutes.


I changes 2 iPhones at Day One... Nothing, the problem is a still there:


frontal videos in low light have a lower quality than an iPhone 6.... Your face become like a mask of wax and the blacks are all heavily pixelled.


I am really really really upset about it.


My friend’’s iPhone 6 humiliated my new 11 pro...

This is the same problem i am having on my 11. Whenever i make a social media video using the front camera before i even film it starts skipping/lagging. Also the quality gets distorted. Also i use filmic pro and when recording slow motion and playing it back the camera glitches as well. Hoping the new update fixes some of these issues because i really love the phone.
