Macro settings on camera app iphone 13

I've been trying to take close-up images with my phone and according to the support, the macro symbol should appear when I get the camera close to an object. This doesn't happen for me. I can't find any macro options in the settings either. I don't have a 13 Pro, just the standard 13. Can anyone advise? Thanks

iPhone 13

Why is my iPhone 14 Plus camera not showing Macro mode? I have an iPhone 14 Plus (iOS 18.5). My camera doesn't focus on anything unless it's at least 8" away. Anything closer and it's blurry. Even if I tap on the image of the object to auto focus on it, it remains blurry. I heard that my iPhone has macro mode but when I watched a video explaining it, the flower icon didn't appear on my screen. Another post on this forum said I should go to Settings > Camera > Formats and enable Macro Mode. But in the Formats window, there are only two choices: High Efficiency and Most Compatible. No choices for macro mode. Does my iPhone not have macro mode? Am I doing something incorrectly? Thank you for your help. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can't macro focus to scan barcodes outside native camera app When I am using the camera app it changes automatically or I can change manually the macro mode, for when taking pictures very close. This is the case when trying to read barcodes from my bank app in order to make payments. The problem is the macro focus is not being enabled automatically and there is no option to do it when using the camera from the banking app or any other app than the native camera app. Anyone else with the same problem? I have checked that since iPhone 14 (at least) people are suffering from this issue. Just changed iPhone 11 Pro to 16 Pro and noticed that problem, which does not happen on iPhone 11 Pro, as it automatically (macro) focus when I am trying to take a closer picture. Is this something Apple is aware of and if yes will they fix it?
