iPhone 14 Pro Max zoom focus not working in Camera app

My iPhone 14 Pro Max stopped being able to focus when on zoom. I have restarted it. And all the normal troubleshooting. The funny thing is that it doesn’t do this inside another app like Snapchat or WhatsApp or instagram. It only does it it my camera app. It will focus on zoom when I’m video mode. Just not picture mode. Please help.

If you don’t get focus lock on the subject, the camera will default to focusing on closest object to the lens. However, if eyes are detected, the camera will assume that is the subject unless you press and hold to get focus lock.


Low light presents additional challenges for focus. But of recent, Apple seems to have overcome the majority of low light focus issues except noise.
