Why is my iPhone 11 Pro Max camera stuck on 2x zoom? My iPhone 11 Pro Max still perfect phone except a couple of months ago no longer zooms out to 0.5 wide angle and always starts camera with a 2X zoom on. I see this is problems has been around for a few years so hopefully the problem has a fix? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Zoom on camera has changed Since the last iPhone iOS download the zoom operation has changed on the camera. I can no longer go from 1 to 5 smoothly on zoom for video. It stops momentarily on each number which makes the video look jerky when zooming in and out. Have tried hard reset but no good. Any tips ?

Is zoom enabled in settings? Please follow this path,

iPhone > Settings > Camera > Camera Control > Customize > make sure zoom is enabled (blue check mark), if it is enabled, momentarily disable and then reenable.
