iPhone 14 Pro - Camera Blurry for Close Up Picture using third party apps Whenever you take a close up image or picture using a third party app like for IDs and other images that needs to be taken closely the image is blurry. I tried different settings and also cleared the camera app but still the same. It seems that the third party app doesnt automatically switch to the Macro Camera to do the close up photos.

iOS 16 issues with camera Anyone else having issues with the camera post iOS 16 update? I have an iPhone 13 pro max and noticed after I updated, my camera quality got significantly worse. Pictures look blurry and low resolution, and I've tried everything from resetting the phone to downloading third party camera apps. Both front and back cameras just took a massive hit in quality. Even worse is I updated to 16.0.2 and somehow the quality got even worse. I'm wondering if anyone has the same issue and was able to fix it?

Hey there Sager1824,

Taking a look at iPhone camera basics

"Zoom in or out

On all models, open Camera and pinch the screen to zoom in or out.
On iPhone models with Dual and Triple camera systems, toggle between 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 2.5x, and 3x to quickly zoom in or out (depending on your model). For a more precise zoom, touch and hold the zoom controls, then drag the slider right or left."

Have a great day!
