Blue or green dot appears during taking a picture in bright light

There is a blue or green dot during taking pictures.

This developed just last month,previously it has no such things.

This green or blue dot are more visible and marked, when taking a picture directly towards moonlight or sunlight.

ios 16.0. 3 updated last night but nothing changed, camera problem remained the same.

Now, please anyone help me with a solution or what should I do?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hey there Rajdip93,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. We do want to let you know that what you're seeing is likely expected behavior, and does appear to be a lens flare. A lens flare depends on where the sun (or light source) is, where the lens is pointed, and then the reflection ends up anywhere within the frame of your picture.


You might see these unexpected light effects when incoming light (usually from outside the field of view) is at an angle and reflects off the surfaces inside the camera. If this happens, move the camera slightly to change the position of the light, or shield the lens with your hand.

We hope that's able to help.


Take care!
