iPhone 15 Pro Photos are Dark

yes, it's happening with me but this time it's on my iPhone 13, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!!

I just experience of my Iphone 15, when after sending photos or video in my messenger. It will coming dark, even in my phone is bright. How can i fix that?

I wish I had seen these comments before buying the phone. I am very disappointed with the camera. Photos are dark and I was expecting more from the macro as well.

I found a work around. I noticed the the camera would take a photo in a lighter setting and then instantly darken as it “processed”. If shot on “live” setting you can edit and go to live and then move it back in time so to speak to the lighter version. They should fix this though. Super annoying. I can edit it to be higher contrast/lower lighting on my own.

You have to go on settings and click on “photo” then turn off the HDR button.

I’m facing this problem with my new IPhone 15 Pro. The pictures are horrible! The individual faces are dark even after adding a filter. I’m disappointed after spending so much to buy the phone. I feel like I’m being ripped off. My friend recommended 13 pro for better picture but I insisted on 15 pro because I assumed the higher the better. Apple must do something about this problem! is unacceptable and I feel cheated.

Hey guys. Ive been reading this thread alot. So far i have found that in settings u can actually change the type of “camera customization “ the default is very dark, and grey…. However, by changing it to “vibrant” it actually helps alot with lens correction especially the photos are much brighter. Even when focusing it still stays nice and vivid and bright! Hope this helps some of you.

The most disappointing purchase I’ve ever made. I waited years to upgrade and I finally bought ‘the best,’ so I could use the camera as a work tool. Im booked into Telstra to change my device to the 14 pro as the camera is basically unusable on the 15pro max. Genuinely don’t understand how they’ve gotten away with making such a redundant product. Extremely frustrating - they should be recalled.

Has anyone been able to resolve the issue on photos appearing darker than they actually are?

Also, the quality of the images are so poor I’ve stopped taking pictures completely. I’m so upset that I bought the iPhone 15 Pro.

I first notice on holiday when my photos came out super dark, on live they show the natural lighting but the captured image is too dark, if you change key photo the image becomes pixilated.

Also some of my images have a “Glow” on people so they come out bright and dont have any focus and detail.

FIX!!!! I just found this in my camera settings for the iPhone 15 Pro after with my photos coming out dark automatically.

Go to Settings then Camera then Photographic Styles. From here you can swipe left or right to change the automatic styling of your photos. The one that was selected for me by default was rich contrast style. After doing tests with multiple styles, I selected the vibrant style, but the standard style will make your photos look the same as you see it through the viewfinder.

It appears to be an on-screen display issue. The best test you can do is to print the photos or sync them via Google Photo or Google Drive while maintaining the original quality and view them on another phone or directly on a PC/Mac.

That makes it worse.

HOW DO WE FIX THIS ISSUE PERMANENTLY?! Apple, you guys messed up how we take our pictures and now they don’t look good like they used to. I feel like I can’t upload images from Easter.

This fixed mine completely!!!! You legend!!!!

Iphone 15 pro max, photos are terrible, blurry and dark, overprocessd to 'watercolor' effect. Portraits are ugly, macros are dark and blurry. Problem is in the software, postprocessing in camera, hope Apple will solve it. RAW should be unprocessed at all, this is the idea of RAW. Instead, they are as ugly as jpeg. Terrible
