Taking macro pics - - there IS NO macro switch in iPhone 14?

Hi,

trying to switch macro on in the camera. Switch macro on, they say.

Well, how?

For the life of me I just cannot find the macro switch on my iPhone 14.

The settings don't even recognize the word "macro".

If this was removed, why are there still loads of directions to toggle the switch?

How on Earth do I turn marco on with no switch?

Or... is it just me again?

Auto macro mode issue Sometimes (more often than I would like) the auto macro mode turns on if I try to take a photo with a telephoto lens at a long distance in poor lighting. This is very annoying because I don’t want to turn off auto macro completely, but after temporarily turning off the flower icon the telephoto cannot focus. Does anyone have the same problem? iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17.0.3

How to manually turn on & lock in macro mode on an iPhone 13 Pro? Is there really no way to manually turn on & lock in macro mode on an iPhone 13 Pro? I have everything fully updated & have the camera set with "Macro Control" on (also Settings>>Camera>Preserve Settings with "Macro Control" on). This generally works reasonably well, EXCEPT when I'm trying to focus on a very small subject, say <0.25" inch in diameter. Then my experience (consistently) is that the camera fails to switch into the macro mode, no matter how close I get & no matter how I position the iPhone lenses relative to the subject. I've done tricks to get the camera to switch into macro mode: -- using a larger leaf behind a tiny subject -- selecting 0.5x & zooming in But I shouldn't need to use those tricks.... I can't figure out why I can't just select macro mode, just like I can select 0.5x, 1x, or 3x. Am I missing something? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Have you tried from the Home Screen swiping down from the top right then tap the magnifying glass with the plus symbol in it? That should open the camera in macro/closeup mode.
