When I try to take a picture with my I phone 8, the image shakes. Someone said to put a magnet on the front of the phone in front of the camera lens. That steadies it and it takes a great picture. Does Apple know about this and is there a more permanent fix?


The info they sent me is "if your camera does not work". Mine works just will not stop shaking without the magnet.
