my iPhone 14 Max Pro takes pictures with glare and terrible picture quality. anybody have a solution

Hello VictorlT1,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 

We understand the photo quality isn’t what you expected. We are happy to help.

Please try the steps here to set up and take photos: Use iPhone camera tools to set up your shot - Apple Support

"Adjust the camera’s focus and exposure

Before you take a photo, the iPhone camera automatically sets the focus and exposure, and face detection balances the exposure across many faces. If you want to manually adjust the focus and exposure, do the following:

1. Open Camera.
2. Tap the screen to show the automatic focus area and exposure setting.
3. Tap where you want to move the focus area.
4. Next to the focus area, drag  up or down to adjust the exposure.
5. To lock your manual focus and exposure settings for upcoming shots, touch and hold the focus area until you see AE/AF Lock; tap the screen to unlock settings.

On iPhone 11 and later, you can precisely set and lock the exposure for upcoming shots. Tap , tap , then move the slider to adjust the exposure. The exposure locks until the next time you open Camera. To save the exposure control so it’s not reset when you open Camera, go to Settings  > Camera > Preserve Settings, then turn on Exposure Adjustment."

Let us know if you have further questions.

Take care.

Hey there VictorlT1,

If you take a photo and it doesn’t look like you expect, look into editing it later on. You can change the key photo from a Live Photo which can make a difference and there are a lot of tools that can help. You can read more about the options here:

We hope this helps.
