Many digital cameras see a little further into the ultraviolet and infrared than the human eye. This is apparently the case with the Android phone and the ultraviolet light (invisible to most humans) appears blue on the display. The same thing occurs with photographic film. The response from Lawrence Finch sounds right, but I thought that you might like a little more information about the physics. By the way, you get a lot more ultraviolet light when you step out into daylight, so don't worry about health problems.

Hello njethro6,


From what I understand you noticed a blue light appearing on the iPhone, which can only been seen using another iPhone camera? Is that right? If so, I’ll be happy to help.


Is this happening using the default Camera app, or are you seeing this using a third-party app?


Does this seem to appear under different lighting conditions and camera modes?

Take a look at the steps listed here: If the camera or flash on your iPhone isn't working


Let me know if you continue to run into issues.


Cheers!
