Washed out colors in Portrait mode on IOS12

I am using a iPhone X. I've update on IOS 12. some how i noticed an issue that is that when i switch to portrait mode in camera app the colors of image become faded (less vibrant, very dull) as soon as the camera focuses on a subject. this is happening only in portrait mode. the wide angle lens in normal photo mode works perfectly. is this an ios bug? please check and reply me. thanks.

I experienced the same issue with my portrait mode camera on my iPhone 8 Plus after updating my phone to iOS 12. It was greyed out, extremely pixelated and would not take portrait photos.


I updated my phone to the iOS 12.1.1 yesterday evening and now it is working completely normal and as it should. If you have not already done this update, this should fix the problem. Hope this helps :)

I’m also experiencing this problem with the washed out colors when setting my camera to portrait mode with my iPhone X. I’m guessing the “bug” found its way into the software right after the release of the XS to encourage more people to upgrade by making people think things like “Look how much better the photos look on the XS!”


Please fix this bug Apple.
