iPhone does not focus: turn on autofocus
If the autofocus on your iPhone camera is deactivated, the images can often no longer be focused. Therefore, make sure that the feature is activated:
- Open the iPhone camera and find a stationary object.
- With one finger, tap the spot on your screen where you want to focus the image.
- If your iPhone is working properly, autofocus should now be enabled again.
If your iPhone camera still doesn't work, you have the following options:
