iPhone X camera won’t focus

Asking this question for a friend. When she’s trying to take a picture with the rear camera, the picture is out of focus. See example below. Any idea how to fix it?

  1. Restart the device. That's it.
  2. Still not solved --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
  3. If few apps are the issue --> If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won't open ...
  4. Have you tried --> How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
  5. Follow the Apple article to resolve the issue --> If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen ...


Preserve camera settings

You can preserve the last camera mode, filter, lighting, depth, and Live Photo settings you used so they’re not reset when you next open Camera.

  1. Go to Settings  > Camera > Preserve Settings.
  2. Turn OFF all of the following:
    • Camera Mode: Preserve the last camera mode you used, such as Video or Pano.
    • Creative Controls: Preserve the last filter, lighting option (on supported models), or depth setting (on supported models) you used.
    • Live Photo: Preserve the Live Photo setting.
