Turn off auto enhance on Instagram iPhone 15 Pro etc.

I just received the iPhone 15 Pro. I am finding the macro function does a lot of camera switching and takes blurry shots which is super frustrating, but what is more frustrating is that I can't seem to post any photos to Instagram without automatic photo enhancement. As soon as I select a photo from my library, it is auto enhanced leading to unnatural colors and blow out mostly. They look terrible. I turned off HDR and did all of the tricks suggested for taking photos, but can't seem to figure this one out. Also, any macro suggestions are appreciated. We compared my macro shots with my husbands iPhone 13 and his are much better. Any ideas?

I am experiencing this same issue! Just got the iphone 15 yesterday. Did you figure out a permanent solution to insta auto enhancing your photos?

Hi everyone, I’m also experiencing this issue, and here’s a solution: Go to Settings > Camera > Formats > and turn on Apple ProRaw. That's it! Then, start taking photos in RAW mode (the button is on the top right corner). After the photo is taken, you may still see auto enhancement when viewing it, but if you start editing the photo—such as adjusting exposure or contrast—you’ll notice the enhancement is gone.


I only use this method when I want to take a photo seriously. You can also export the RAW file to a computer without the enhancement. Hope this helps!



This photo is taken by 15x zoom condition, the default camera has an AI-generated aesthetic and the words appear to be processed and fused together :(

Hi! I think I figured it out, but I’m not sure. When you go to settings->camera->photographic styles, mine phone was already set on “vibrant”, but you can swipe through to standard and it seems to have worked for me, at least for the few pics i took after of my cat to check. I hope this is the solution! 🫶🏻
