front facing camera on iphone 11

Is it just me or does my front facing camera suck on this phone. I upgraded from the 8+ to the 11 and am severely disappointed. Is it something I am doing or is this an Apple problem. I would also like to know if it is going to get fixed

iPhone 11

Are you unable to take a decent selfie with the camera? Forget Snapchat, which is an issue with Snapchat, not your phone, but if the phone won't take a good selfie on it's own, schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and show it to them.


My front facing camera is great, with no issues. Loads of people are having an issue with Snapchat, but that's Snapchat's fault and issue to resolve.

So far, I think the front facing camera on both our iPhone 11 and 11 Pro Max is fantastic. With the 12MP front facing camera, it's significantly better than the 7MP front facing camera on my previous iPhone Xs Max. If you take a selfie in reasonably good light is the picture not good? Selfies I've taken have been outstanding.


To the poster above who commented about Snapchat, many others have commented about Snapchat, which means they have not optimized their app for the new iPhone's yet.

It makes me so frustrated that part of the reason I love Apple so much is because the camera is amazing. I just switched from my 8s And upgraded to be 11… And all I have to say is the front camera is absolutely horrible. I still have a couple days left on my phone before I won’t be able to switch anymore. And I’m thinking about turning my phone in and getting a different Product for the first time in years because how awful this front facing camera is, it’s blurry, it’s pixelated… And it does not work well with other apps including Snapchat. Very disappointed and I would like to know how it’s going to be fixed.

Glad it’s not just me. I am also considering returning the phone as well due to just how bad the front camera is. I have noticed that it warps my facial features making one eye appear larger and the eyebrow much higher. I may be ugly, but I’m pretty certain my eyes are the same size! Don’t even get me started on how bad the Snapchat camera is. I switched to iPhone 11 from a Galaxy 8 and am so far happy with all other features of the phone. It really would be great to know if there is a fix in store.
