How do I fix a grainy front camera in Snapchat on iPhone?

• Front camera appears grainy and low quality only when using the main camera screen in Snapchat (the default screen when you open the app)

• The same front camera works perfectly:

• In the iOS Camera app

• When replying to chats inside Snapchat

• On other identical iPhone 14 devices with the same app and settings



• Image taken in Snapchat:

➤ Resolution: 2 MP (1242 × 2208)

• Image taken in iOS Camera app:

➤ Resolution: 7 MP (2326 × 3088)




Steps Already Taken

1. Deleted and reinstalled Snapchat

2. Restarted iPhone

3. Logged out and back into Snapchat

4. Cleared all filter settings in the app

5. Compared with identical iPhone 14 (same conditions, different result)

6. Checked camera in other apps – no issues

7. Removed screen protector (to rule out interference)
