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 Also have the same problem (11 Pro Max) but i also have it with WhatsApp and Telegram so basically in every app in which you can zoom with the front cam. I Do have a question tho. someone told me that you could zoom in the normal camera app and that it doesn't lag there but as far as i know and even tried, you can't zoom. Am i r**arded or was he just chatting sh**. ?

I am experiencing this too!!!


I want to cry. I miss my iphone 8 plus, the quality of the front camera is AWFUL. It's not just on snapchat or instagram either, it's also on the camera app itself on my iphone. Unless I have really REALLY good lighting, I'm getting a super blurred android looking camera.


Someone please tell me that an IOS update is going to fix this.

Hi people,


Another problem with the selfiecamera (maybe it’s mentioned before)


when switching from photoselfie mode to videoselfie mode, my face looks like there is a sort of (really dark) filter. I found out that switching to a lower resolution and fps helps, but i bought this phone for the 4K 60 fps... even on the selfiecamera.


why is this? And is this is software bug?


thank you. Greetings from the Netherlands

Hey @apple are you going to do anything about this???? I thought I was unlucky enough to get a malfunctioned phone and have to jump through hoops to get this dealt with. After chatting with support 3 times, I’m going in to an authorized Apple repair store so they can “examine and repair” my phone... clearly it’s not an issue with my unlucky phone. Which annoying operates like an android.. Seems like it’s an issue ALL AROUND. This is just unacceptable. One of the main selling points was the camera and the quality is HORRENDOUS. Seriously going to just “downgrade” -which ironically and sadly is an actual UPGRADE- back to my iPhone 8+. Absolutely ridiculous.
