iPhone 12 pro max poor quality photos and videos

Why is IPhone 12 Pro Max has garbage quality on Snap and Instagram? At this point I’m sure every iPhone user will switch to android. I’m very disappointed. I have waited 4 generations to upgrade from 8 Plus to 12 Pro Max and yet I’m super disappointed. Apple what is this bs?

Its called compression most social media sites use it, there is a certain length you need to upload photos and videos in for it to stay sharp i suggest you google and have alook cause i give the worst advice

To upload Apple 12 photos to Shutterfly without distortion you have to turn off Shutterfly’s VividPics button. Go to Shutterfly/photos/my photo settings/image preferences. Then turn off VividPics.

Voila! The pictures transfer perfectly!

I agree the camera quality on this 12 pro max is garbage AF. I upgraded from my XS for a bs *** camera!! My XS took GREAT selfies and videos. $1099 for a DOWNGRADE. I don’t know why Apple even released this BS. Literally nothing is great about this camera it’s actually worse. I want my XS back I would’ve got a XS max, but they stopped making it don’t know why since this camera is trash compared to the XS🙄.

i agree with all yall. I literally upgraded from my iphone 8plus just to get a more expensive phone but the camera is so ugly . Apple need to fix this because its like they so worried about making the phones more pricey and smaller boxes that they forgot to INSTALL THE NEW CAMERA WITH THE PHONE 😂

I bought iPhone 12 pro max expecting superior camera, I use the camera every night in poor lighting to scan paperwork for my job, I can't control the lighting because it's night shift and it's in my truck. My old Samsung did the job fine, but this iPhone creates shadows, and I have to turn on the flash every time because it won't recognize that the flash is needed when in auto, and it always reverts back to auto. But even with flash the shadows are still there. The Samsung never had this problem. The Samsung A70 is a far superior phone all around only the keyboard started glitching so I thought it was time to upgrade. Now I regret getting an iPhone

I work in Social, and everything I am doing is now garbage. Reels and tiktocks are blurry, washed out or bright orange and horrible. Today apple told me its not fixable. so I am basically stuck with a phone I can't use

I just upgraded to 12 pro max specifically because of the upgrade in camera and pics seem complete rubbish. I think my 8 plus had better quality! Super disappointed.

It’s embarrassing

i do a facebook live and it’s as if I post from a 10 year old phone

Is there a way to improve it?

Ok guys... now I’m really 😡 I contacted support through Feedback app for developers about camera flickering issue on iPhone 12 Pro Max... and this is what I got.

same problem. IPhone Pro Max .. even after cleaning the lens. I am very disappointed. my other iPhone was better ... very grainy pictures.

Same here!

all of you should contact support with this matter. I did and the more of us the better.

Using support on the apple.com website - they can call you or use chat :)

Did you turn “View Full HDR” on or off on your iPhone 12? Which looks better?
