After updating to iOS 18.2, my iPhone SE camera will not focus on anything farther than about two feet away. It seems to be stuck in macro mode - but it only has one lens. Any help? This did not happen with 18.1.
iPhone SE, iOS 18
It's not always the iOS update's fault! Many things can cause phone problems. If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.
Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!
iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.
Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.
Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

Take a macro photo or video
Open Camera on your iPhone. Make sure Camera is in Photo or Video mode. Get close to the subject—as close as 2 centimeters. Camera will automatically switch to the Ultra Wide camera to enable macro photography.
Thanks. I was expecting this response, and it’s not helpful. All setting have been checked, nothing is covering the camera, it focuses well very close up, and it stopped working immediately after updating to 18.2.
While “many things” may affect the camera, sometimes the user might know what they’re talking about. This is why I’ve never posted to the forums before - cut and pasted answers that aren’t helpful in the slightest.
