How to stop Orbs & Glares/Flares on my iphone 11 pro max?

My new iphone 11 pro max does great with mid light photos but in the light (day or night) there are orbs or glares/flares. How can I make this not happen as the whole reason I got this phone was for the camera function. I didnt have this issue with my iphone 7.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13

Hi there ApollosFancysDallas,


It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with the camera on your iPhone, and we'd like to share some information that can help.


What you're noticing is called a lens flare, which happens when a bright source of light is shining through the lens and is a common occurrence in photography. It may be more noticeable the brighter the source of light, and the darker the environment, such as at night. This can be limited by ensuring a bright light source is not directly in the camera focus.

We hope this helps!
