Hello ~ You are experiencing “lens flare” and it’s not only a phenomenon on iPhones but the best cameras in the world exhibit this as well. Try cleaning your lens, also adjusting your shooting angle may help and/or block the light source with your hand. You can find online tutorials that may assist.

The green dot is a form of optical phenomenon called flare. It’s normal and to be expected. All cameras exhibit flare to one degree or another.


You can remove it in software in many cases, depending on your editing abilities and skill set. You can also reduce its occurrence by repositioning the camera in relationship to the bright light source. You can also reduce its occurrence by shielding the front of the lens by positioning your hand or other object from the light directly striking the lens.


If you have placed protective covers over the sapphire lens protectors remove them. Lens covers make it worse.
