Photos taken on in-app camera blurry without focus on my iPhone 16 Pro Max

When I try to take photos on in-app cameras, more specifically photos of important documents for signing up or verifying identity on apps such as Dasher, or Lyft Driver, or even the web camera for a government website, It doesn’t focus, it is extremely blurry unless I move the camera far from the subject. Which makes the photo unacceptable for the verification service anyway. This has made signing up for services that require ID verification much more complicated than they need to be.

For example:

This is a strange issue to have on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, as it seems it’s just for some reason I cannot utilize the focus and zoom functions of my camera on in-app camera interfaces for other apps. Any fixes?
