why is my xr camera zoomed in

Hi stella4512,

Thanks so much for reaching out through Apple Support Communities about your iPhone XR camera behavior. We'd love to look into this with you and help in any way we can.

To start, let's ensure we understand correctly. Which version of iOS are you using on your device? This can be found under Settings > General > About.

Are you noticing this zoomed in image preview in every app that uses the camera? If it's occurring in the built-in Camera app, let us know if the same issue occurs whether using the front or rear camera, or both.

What happens when you tap on the option to zoom in? The following guide has more details about using the Camera app to zoom in:

We're here for you if you've got any questions.

Have a great day!
