How to Fix iPhone 13 Blurry Photos

There are many possible factors that can affect and improve the iPhone 13’s photos. This is because of its built-in iOS 15 system.

To fix the iPhone 13 blurry photos, users should first disable their “Auto Macro.” This is a feature that automatically adjusts focus whenever a photographer approaches its subject. Sometimes, a glitch in Auto Macro could cause this blurry photo.

Users can disable the Auto Macro by heading to “Settings,” “Camera,” and toggling off “Auto Macro.”

Users are also advised to try and turn off “Lens Correction,” the option above “Auto Macro.” Afterward, Apple fans should check on their iPhone’s camera and check if it makes a difference.

Another factor that can affect the quality of iPhone 13 photos is “Photographic Styles.” Note that is an exclusive feature found on iPhone 13 and Pro lineups. This lets users pick five presets that adjust the photo’s tone and warmth. So instead of post-processing an image, users are advised to stick with “Standard Style,” which presents a default look captured by the camera.

Users can customize their iPhone 13 photos by going to “Settings,” “Camera,” and “Photographic Styes.” Open it and click on “Use Standard.”

Lastly, users can also try disabling “View Full HDR” in their camera, because contrary to expectation, taking an HD photo can eat up a lot of unnecessary pixels and colors for the photo. Disabling it gives the user a lot more control over their camera.

If your Photos and Videos are stored in iCloud and you share it before downloading the original then it may appear blurry but it is not.

Your photos and videos are stored on your device in their original, high-resolution version. This means that they use a lot of space on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. With iCloud Photos, you can make more space available on your device and have your entire collection, everywhere you go.
