iPhone 15 PRO Camera Closeup on 3rd Party Apps

[TheJackal]

Seems that unlike iOS's native camera app, 3rd party apps (such as WhatsApp, Instagram, etc) don't have the ability to switch into macro mode automatically.

This means that any close-up photos are blurry as the main camera doesn't focus at such a short distance.

Is this a known issue?

The issue is the minimum focus distance on the main camera lens on iPhone 14/15 Pro. I think most third party apps just use the main lens and would need to program switching lenses.

Here is a good explanation of it:

Thanks!

Amazing that app developers haven't done anything about it and its been an issue for well over a year.

Facebook developers are slow and lazy. Telegram resolved this issue months ago.
