iPhone 14 Pro Max camera switching after 16.5.1 update

Why is my camera automatically switching to wide when taking videos in messenger and instagram? Also when taking a picture in camera. I have my macro control settings off. It happened only after i updated my software to 16.5.1.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hey there jeaeiou,


We'd like to help rule out some possible causes, along with learning more about what's happening:


  1. You mentioned that the camera on your iPhone 'switches to wide' when taking photos in two third-party apps, but what exactly did you mean by this, and does this occur when taking photos in the Camera app?
  2. Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart: Restart your iPhone
  3. We also recommend making sure that all apps are up to date: How to manually update apps on your Apple device If you have any updates for Facebook Messenger and Instagram, please install them, then test for the same issue.


Cheers!
