Hey ezekielsal,


Thanks for the update. Let's see if you can still use Portrait mode on your iPhone. If it does not work you may need to have the iPhone evaluated for service.

  1. "Open the Camera app and swipe to Portrait mode.
  2. Follow the tips on your screen. When Portrait mode is ready, the name of the lighting effect, such as Natural Light, turns yellow.

  3. Tap the shutter button .

The Camera app lets you know when you're too close, too far away, or if the area is too dark. You can also use True Tone flash, set a timer, and apply filters. After you take a photo, you can use the built-in editing features to do things like crop and auto-enhance."
