Camera problems

Photo looks blurry

Wipe the lens clean with a soft, dry cloth and retake the photo.
If new photos still look blurry:

•

Increase resolution (photo size) in the Camera app. A smaller photo size results in lower image quality.

•

Avoid zooming when taking a photo. Pixelation always occurs when you zoom a digital photo. If you use 

zoom during the shot itself, pixelation will be more evident.

•

If you're indoors and taking a panoramic photo, switch to regular mode. Panorama works best for 

outdoor shots; the algorithm that stitches the images together isn’t optimized for indoor, up-close 

shots.

Accidentally deleted photos

You can try to 

recover

 recently deleted photos.

If recovered, be sure to 

back up your photos

 to the cloud.

Can’t delete photo

If a photo or video you deleted comes back, check if it’s on your SD card. To delete it, use the Files app. (If 

you don’t have this app, 

download

 a file manager app and use it to delete the photo from your card.)

Or, 

remove

 your card from the phone and use a computer to delete photos from the card.

WhatsApp camera issues

If you installed WhatsApp and have problems taking photos or videos with it:
1. Check for 

updates

 to the app.

2.

Clear the app's cache.
