Is it safe to use third-party lenses on iPhone 16 Pro?

Has anyone used additional lenses for the IPhone 16 pro camera and if so, what were the results?

Hello!


Yes, I use a camera lenses protector. Having smashed one or two of them on my old iPhone 12, I hate to think what would’ve happened to the camera had I not had them. So when I got my iPhone 16 (not a 16 Pro, if it makes a difference) I added a lens protector right away.


I don’t use my camera for professional photography, and the crispness of the photos I take are more than sufficient for what I use the camera for. I don’t know if the protector makes that much of a difference in the photo quality to be honest. I’m sure it will make a bit of a difference, but is it to an extent worth talking about? I’m not sure.


That’s my personal thoughts on this. Have a great day!
