What am I doing wrong with my camera?

[ssledoux]

I just do not get very good pictures. I can snap a still animal or human, and if I enlarge it, it is so fuzzy and blurry.

I just want to point and shoot for the most part, but feel like with a 15 pro max I should be getting better pics. IDK if I have something set wrong or what. How can I tell?

When you say enlarge, how much are we talking?

Upload pics uncompressed here with a link. Otherwise its hard to say.
Iphones are easy point and shoot devices.
The most obvious: hold it still and more light the better. Clean lenses. Or maybe u have a hardware problem

Just stretching it a little to see it more closely.

I just don’t know if I’ve got a messed up setting or something - have no idea about adjustments because I really just point and shoot most of the time. But honestly my grandson’s 16e takes better point and shoot pictures than my 15 pro max.

Clean the lens? My dad phone gets like that but I think it’s lotion lol no joke.

Are these with images already zoomed in? We'd really need to see a picture to be able to understand.

Not always. I need to try and upload some. I just find them super grainy, but maybe I’m expecting too much. I just don’t know if there is a basic setting that has gotten messed up.

Please do. Hard to give advice without some idea of what you're trying to do, especially how far you're zooming in and on what.

Sorry I’ve been MIA. I appreciate all the responses. I’m honestly just not even gonna worry about it at this point. I’m gonna trade in my 15 PM next month anyway, so I’ll address my camera ineptitude when I get my next phone. ;-p

Yes with a 15PM you could sell all your fancy Nikon or Canon gear. Phone is better.
Dirty lens, or you dropped it.

If you're worried settings, reset them all
Backup iphone then
Settings, General, transfer or reset iPhone, reset, reset all settings.
