Mine does not have any redeye from my low light photos. Perhaps you could try to compare yours to another if you know someone that has an iPhone X.

By any chance, are any of your friends single? /S.

Other than the gorgeous ladies in that picture, you can fix the red eye issues just by hitting the edit button.

I know it can be fixed but i work in a club and use snapchat for the club and it cant be fixed in snapchat and it also makes me wonder why it happened compared to a 7 plus its fine

You can take a normal picture, edit it and then I upload to snapchat.

Ps. I don’t think it’s down to devices. It’s more about lighting and angle.

I’m surprised you even bought one. Considering your posts from 2 weeks ago LOL

Any camera flash that is used at the same angle and axis of your lens will hit the back of the retina of your subjects thereby causing the red eye reflection. You can manually remove those with numerous auto red eye editing tools afterwards. In the future stand as far back as you can and shoot at a slight down angle.

I agree with you... I’m having the same problem with the red eye. It seems no matter what angle or how much light there is. The flash is to strong and creates this white glow in the eyes of the subjects. Post edit doesn’t always work. Apples edit is not always on point.. point is I’m having the same problem and it sucks there is no anti red eye flash option like a pulsating flash prior to the picture being taken

If you’re a photographer you would know that the closer the flash gets to the lens, the more likely red eye will occur.

It happens less on a non X iPhone because the flash is further away from the lens on them.

But it is easily fixed on real cameras by making the flash strobe a little bit before the actual photo is taken. We don’t have that option on the iPhone X

It’s because the flash has never been so close to the lens on previous iPhones as it is on the 10.

Change the angle slightly. It’s a result of the light from the flash going straight out and returning straight back into the lens (because the flash is so close to the lens, the light doesn’t bounce back at a different angle)

Exactly :/ the flash sits right between the two lenses.

If you look at all previous iPhones (including the dual lens Plus phones) the flash sits further away.

Got here as I noticed the same issue. I could see the reason but presumed there would be a red eye setting I was missing. That appears not to be the case. Perhaps due to the type of LED use and/or the fancy lighting effects of portrait mode necessitating some restrictions on flash settings.

Fortunately don’t use snap chat so can use post processing. Having been a non plus user, the camera is still impressive for a phone :)

Glad to read I’m not the only one but how do we fix this problem? My friends have iPhone 7’s and 8’s and their pictures are coming out better than ones from my phone. Kinda disappointed considering I purchased this phone for the camera. Any suggestions anyone?

Nope mine does the exact same thing and I absolutely hate it. I take the best pictures at least I think so with any other iPhone but when it comes to the x the eyes are terrible. The only place it doesn’t do it is outside in natural light.
 
I’m experiencing the same issue on my iPhone X and it happens a lot in almost every picture, it’s terrible. Not only that it adds red eye to strangers in the background as well if you’re taking pictures where there is a lot of people like a festival or club. I use PS Express to remove the red eye in some cases because it does a much better job than the native app. But it’s almost impossible to eliminate red eye of people looking sideways not facing the camera regardless of the app you use. For a $2K phone the low light pics of people with flash are crap. How does Apple not test for these situations after 10 years on the market and a team of engineers????

They need to fix it with some sort of strob flash effect before the flash goes off.
