iOS 14 bad snapchat camera quality

Thank god I’m not alone cause it’s been driving me crazy. I’ve been uninstalling the app multiple times, trying the beta version as well. Hate that it’s so bright. Snapchat needs to fix it asap. It’s literally my go too app. & this is only after I’ve updated to iOS14

Mine too. The photo just turns more faded white after a second. I just emailed customer service, but I don't think there's much they can do unless they bring an update to the app, even though I have recently updated Snapchat. Guess I'll just have to wait for another update...

I hope they fix this annoying bug :/

Once again, Apple needs to address this, not Snapchat. - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251976815

I wish you guys would stop turning a blind eye to legitimate issues and concerns being brought up by customers. I know it's easy to say "Oh it's Snapchat." But why not actually dig a little deeper into all these threads that are popping up and seeing where this is actually happening on the native camera app as well before giving your stock response that it's not Apples fault.

I understand there's so many different variables with phones, etc. . . and at first I thought it was only Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram. Until I actually went into my native camera app and found what is being discussed in the thread I linked. This is a bigger issue than any one particular app and it would be greatly appreciated if people would stop acting like it's a non issue.

snapchat makes my pictures more white it started when i uodated to iOS 14

fyi, this happened when iOS 13 released as well and it took Snapchat months to update their app.

Contact them asap.

Honestly Speaking! I got angered by it so so much I was furious as ****,as it ruined the iPhone camera quality prestige,however its all okayy in the default camera and cameras of Instagram etc.but its only Snapchat messing up and Its so annoying can even explain,this problem needs to get fixed asap we should all contact snapchat and Apple consistently as this is unbearable we had greater expectations from iOs 14,snapchat’s now like clicking a photo from an average or low cost phone!

That will always be true.

When you are zooming in, it is a digital zoom, which means you are blowing up the pixels more and more.

If you have an iPhone with an actual zoom lens, it only comes into play when the light is above a certain level and at 2x, not any other zoom factor.

yeah it’s just that it got worse after the update. i was trying to take a video of myself in low lighting, and usually it would come out perfectly fine but it just had terrible quality

So if your video quality is still only impacted in Snapchat, it is still their issue to resolve.

i was having this problem too but just updated the snapchat app and now it doesn’t lower the quality once i take a snap anymore! i’m assuming snapchat needed the update their software for the new iOS update

snapchat needed the update their software for the new iOS update

For the benefit of those who come to this conversation.

It was said 5 days ago that Snapchat needed to update their app for iOS 14. It was the 2nd post and was within the same day of the original post.

Please read the conversation thoroughly before adding a "me too".

Not everything is Apple's fault. When Apple updates the underlying iOS, it is entirely the app developer's responsibility to be compatible with that update. They know this.

Most do an excellent job of releasing their app updates in a timely manner.

You should always check with the app developer for an update before blaming Apple and demanding they fix what is not their job to fix.

i have iphone se 2020 camera is beautiful when i post on snapchat however the quality changes and it’s really bad before with my iphone 6 if i was posting on camera roll it shows the image clearly now that i got the SE 2020 when i post my photos it’s all blurry

this isn’t exactly the same issue I’m having but is anyone experiencing where they take a video with flash front facing camera on Snapchat and when you post it’s very pixelated and blurry? Sometimes I won’t be using flash and it still isn’t the best quality before I installed the update it was never doing that. Please respond if the same thing is happening to you

I have been having the same problem for about two weeks now! I have an iPhone 8 Plus though but my camera quality was always good so I don’t think it’s my phone either I also have Apple care so I even got a new one and it still has the same problem unfortunately. I think it’s on Snapchat’s end.. I’m so glad I found someone else who is having the same problem I thought it was just me!

i just bought a new Mac air and the camera is so bad, considering that these are being used for school and work, almost $2500 is unbelievably negligent of apple. Not the quality one expects at all.

The camera for that Mac, and all current Macbooks, is only a 720p webcam. You should not compare it with the latest iPhones.

Nobody buys a Mac, or any laptop for that matter, for it's built in camera.

There is nothing negligent about offering a webcam level camera in a Mac.

And this conversation is about an iPhone and iOS, not Mac.

First, and perhaps most importantly, you are not talking to Apple. Everyone here is an Apple user, just like you.

That having been said I read comments that the Camera app's photos are poor, and I just don't see it. I see some of the best photos I've ever taken with an iPhone coming out of my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I don't doubt that there might be some difference that makes photos worse for some, but I haven't seen it.

The Snapchat issue has been true since iOS 14 was released, and there are several comments stating that Camera app photos are fine but Snapchat photos are not - which points to their app.

Literally same it’s bothering me so much idk what to do. Pls let me know if anything works for you
