Set iPhone camera to 16:9 default on iOS 15

Various “tips” say that I can make this the default by going to Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings > Camera Mode

But, nope, that doesn’t work for me.


I turn that “preserve settings” mode on, take a picture, and then next time I open the camera app the aspect ratio is back to 4:3.


I have iOS 15.2. Is this something that no longer works?

Hey there clymbon,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. “You can save the last camera mode, filter, lighting, depth, and Live Photo settings you used so they’re not reset when you next open Camera.” Check out this article for more info:

If the features in the article aren’t working as expected, back up and update iOS and then test again:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Take care.
