Green dot appearing on iPhone photos

In some photos it shows up a green dot. Especially when I try to take photos in sunset or in photos with a lot of colours and low brightness.

No, not a problem with the camera, even the finest DSLR cameras costing thousands of dollars do this, it's caused by light reflecting off the surface of the lens.

If your shooting a scene and there's a bright point of light, it's going to happen, it's inevitable. You can either try to manipulate the shot so there's not a bright light, or if your shooting a scene such as a sunset you can use a photo editing tool to remove it.
