iPhone 16 Pro Max Front Camera Blurriness

My sister and I recently upgraded from the iPhone 11 to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and we have both noticed a drastic difference in the front camera quality. Whether it be on Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, or even the Camera app that comes on every iPhone, the front camera sucks. As soon as you use the camera, it’s super blurry, and the quality is terrible. If you stay still, it will clear up, but if you move around, it gets blurry again. It’s extremely aggravating because I’ve tried messing around with the camera settings, and nothing helps. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Me too!! Also upgraded to 16 Pro from an 11 and my front camera will not focus on Snapchat. It’s driving me insane.

I have the same exact problem! I switched from iphone 11 pro to an iphone 16 and I am honestly disappointed, why is the camera quality grainy and blurry? I didn’t pay for the newest iphone just for it to be worse than previous models

Me too! I’ve upgraded from an iphone 11 pro to an iphone 16 and the camera quality is 100% what you described, you have to stay super still so the photos won’t be blurry, the camera quality is seriously bad and the photos come out grainy, am I doing something wrong?
