Does this help?

Go to Settings---> Camera and enable Preserve settings to Camera Mode.

iPhone does NOT keep last shot configuration On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, there is no way for the camera to stay in 16:9, when I close the camera and go back in it always goes back to 4:3. They told me: go to Settings / Camera / Preserve Settings and activate Camera mode. Then open the camera and take a 16:9 photo and you're done, the iPhone will save the last used settings. NOPE! Is there no way to get something so simple in such an expensive phone?

Photo access always on Lock Screen iPhone 13 When iPhone is on the Lock Screen there is a shortcut to the camera that can only be disabled by disabling the camera entirely on the phone. When anyone picks up an iPhone they can use that shortcut to open all of the photos saved on the phone. I guess my question is, why isn’t there an option to disable camera/photo access from the Lock Screen like there was on older iOS? Is there another way?
