Preserving camera preferences in Settings

I have had an iPhone 12 Pro for years and a 13 for over a year, and just a few days ago the camera started using Live (which I think is a useless feature) and changing the exposure even when I turned them off in Settings. Each time I open the camera those feature become active EVEN WHEN they are turned off permanently in Settings. I have missed a few good foto-ops because I had to manually turn them off FOR EVERY SHOT… no kidding! Also the flash keeps reactivating when I open the camera app. Does anyone know a hack ⛏️or someone at Apple that I can contact? 🍏

Go to Settings/Camera/Preserve Settings and turn on the switches for the settings you don’t want to change between uses of the camera.

I can’t help, then, it works for me. Contact Apple support using the links at the top or bottom of this page.

one thought: are you in the habit of force-closing the camera from the App Switcher, rather than just going back to the Home Screen from the camera? That can case it to lose the most recent settings.

Hi Lawrence,

I stated in my question that I tried that and it does not work.
