when taking photo with light at the background with the rear camera of my iPhone 6s plus, there's a light blue colour square will appear (somewhat like a reflection of the light).

The blue square is the area the camera is setting focus and exposure on.

Tap on the area you are actually taking a picture of. For example, if you are taking a picture of a someone int eh room and the background is very bright (or dark), tap the face of the person to set the camera to that.

Those are internal reflections. aka ghosting or lens flare.


If under warranty, make an appointment to have it looked at.

This recall as about different 6+ behaviour, but it's worth plugging your serial number in...
