Camera setting iphone Xr

Hi, is it possible to set the camera default to 16:9 instead of 4:3? I tried going to Settings/Camera/Preserve Settings/Camera Mode and turning it on, then opening Camera and taking a picture at 16:9, but it went back to 4:3… am I doing something wrong or is it just not possible?


Thank you in advance!

Hi duarte_ppm, 


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. 


We understand that you want to set the default aspect ratio of your camera screen to 16:9, instead of 4:3, and that have already tried to save the last Camera Mode. When you go to Settings  > Camera > Preserve Settings, make sure to also turn on Creative Controls. 


For additional information check out the Apple resources below.
