Dark selfies on iphone 15 pro

The same thing is happening with my iphone 15 as well. While taking photo looks bright and good, but as soon I click selfie, result becomes dark and sharp. Which does not look good

Even I am facing this issue. I just bought an iPhone 15 Pro last week and I have been trying to fix this issue. What you see on the screen while taking a photo are different from what you see in the photo after it is captured. The photo is darker and more grainy.

All these steps mentioned above do not help in improving the quality. I think its a real issue with the camera or the software. I am considering returning my iphone 15 pro and switching to android.

Same issue. I swapped phone - same issue. Went back to Apple and they restored phone settings. Also didn’t work. I asked for them to give me a 14 pro which is much better camera than 15 pro and they said they can’t swap for earlier phones and don’t carry 14 pro anymore

Hi MrJhnLlyddd,

We recommend that you try the steps in the link below since you're having issues with your front facing camera.

If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working - Apple Support

To perform the recommended troubleshooting steps via the link above, complete the steps in the section below.

Remove case, accessory, or film and test

1. Remove any case, accessory, or film that might block the camera or flash or that places a magnet near the camera.

2. Test the camera by trying to take a photo.

3. Test the LED flash:

1. Try the flashlight in Control Center on your iPhone or Control Center on your iPad. On an iPhone X or later or an iPad, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen. On an iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen.

2. Tap the Flashlight button .

If the flash works only sometimes, open the Camera app and tap the flash button  to choose a different setting. 

A configuration profile, including a Mobile Device Management (MDM) profile, can disable the camera.

If you want to try more steps on your own

If you prefer, here are some more steps you can try on your own if the camera isn't working. You might still need to contact Apple Support after following these steps. 

1. If the photo is blurry, clean the front and back camera lenses with a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens, damage to your iPhone near the camera, or if the camera lens appears to be misaligned or blocked, contact Apple Support to discuss service options.

2. If you see motion blur in low-light situations and you use a lens converter, metallic case, or a magnetic lens mount, try removing the accessory.

3. Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

4. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.

5. Test the camera again by taking a photo. If your device has a front and rear camera, check if one or both aren't working. To switch cameras, tap the rotate button .

We recommend the steps above because they will show you what to do If the camera on your iPhone isn't working as expected.

If you’re still experiencing the same issue, then we suggest you take a look at the article here: Change advanced camera settings on iPhone - Apple Support

Please let us know the outcome after giving the above steps a try.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

Cheers!

Yes this is my exact issue! I hate it i hope they fix they asap!!

hi, i don’t know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but i’ve been having this exact issue on my iphone 15 (especially with selfies, they looked horrendous) and i found that swiping left on the „take picture” button instead of outright clicking it fixes the issue - pictures taken that way aren’t altered in any way. Hope this helps

Yes, I have the same issue, it's really annoying, tried everything recommended on the web, but nothing helped. Hope they will fix it soon, its horrible

OMG THAT REALLY HELPED!! Thank you soo muchh🩷

This is very helpful, thank you! Do you know why it’s like that though?

BRUTAL. So disappointed. I upgraded from iPhone 8! Had wanted iPhone 12 but they were sold out. Right ****** off. The camera was the main reason for me choosing this phone!!!

I’m having the exact same issue and I just upgraded this sucks photos come out super dark
