Turn off auto enhance on Instagram iPhone 15 Pro etc.

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?

I searched a few forum sites and I think I found the solution. Before uploading photos, turn your iPhone into low power mode. it really works.

I’m also having this issue but only with my public instagram account. My photos don’t auto enhance on my private account. I can’t find out why or a fix for this!

This low battery mode turn off really helped. Thanks a lot to whoever who cracked this 🤣🥳

This actually works thank you!!

I am experiencing the same thing in my iphone 15 pro. But what i have found is, if the photo is taken without any filter,i.e., vivid or any else, it does not enhance the photo while posting on instagram. Or if i have edited it in other app, it does not enhance the pictures. Idk why this is happening, but i need it to be solved.

Hi, have you found any solution to the problem? I am also struggling here from the same issue :/

Just got my new iphone 15 pro and have tried all the hacks...lower power mode, most compatible mode (so camera takes jpegs and not HEIF), reinstalled Instagram. Currently I recently logged out of IG and reinstalled it and logged back in and so far my photos don't end up all blurry and pixalated. Weird that everyone says low power mode works or solves it but it didn't for me??? Also weird that all the pics look fine while I'm editing in IG but once I go to upload and add a caption it becomes blurry and pixalated!!! Looks horrendous! Any new ideas? I kinda want my old iphone 8 back lol!

This works—thank you! I have no idea why putting my phone into low power mode should correct this issue, but I'm grateful for this workaround so my posted pictures aren't all ruined by that horrible default AI auto-filtering. And I don't know whether it's Apple or Instagram causing it, but I am glad to have a way to stop it! The implicit assumption seems to be that we all take horrible photos that always need "fixing"?? Really unfortunate decision on some tech team's part. 🙄

My photo got automatically saturated ( kind of pinkish filter) before posting it . I am using iPhone 15 pro .. I don’t know whether it will be resolved in upcoming updates. Putting in low power mode also works for me , but it’s weird !!!

Hi there michaplot,

You'll want to be sure to review the information in this support article for guidance on how to best capture photos using macro on your iPhone camera: Take macro photos and videos with your iPhone camera - Apple Support

Regarding the automatic photo enhancement you mentioned, is this only happening when posting photos on Instagram? If so, you'd want to reach out to Instagram's support team for more help with how photos appear in their app: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

If not, and this behavior persists, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support directly for further assistance. They're better equipped to take a closer look at the issue and provide some additional guidance. This link will help you get started: Apple Support

Take care.

If you delete the Intstagram app and reinstall, the issue goes away. It comes back, so I’m not sure what the permanent solution is but it’s a workaround.

Had the same issue!

If you post to Instagram directly from photos, the weird filtering doesn't happen.

I found this happening with my iPhone 11 repeatedly and now on my 15. Insta applies this dreamy washed out filter to all photos posted and there is no overcoming it. Ill delete Insta on my phone, give it a few days, and lets see...
