Bad picture

It didn't happen to me before but started 1 week ago, all my photos with lights (natural or artificial) in the background ruin everything. Pictures are blurry and look over exposed. Anyone knows what's going on and how to fix it?

Hello Ok8,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that photos taken with your iPhone have recently become blurred or out of focus. I know taking photos can be extremely important. I'm happy to help.

Please follow the steps below:
  1. Make sure that the camera lens is clean. If you need to clean the lens, use a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
  2. With iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone 6 Plus, a metallic case or magnetic lens could interfere with optical image stabilization. Try taking a picture without it, then compare the quality.
  3. To focus on a certain object or person, tap that object or person on the preview screen. You’ll see the screen pulse, or briefly go in and out of focus, as the camera adjusts. In photo mode, try to stay steady when you adjust the focus. If you move too far in any direction, the camera will automatically refocus to the center. In video mode, you can adjust the focus before you begin recording.

If you still have issues with the focus on your camera, contact Apple Support.
