   how to take good pictures with iphone at night they always blurry

   Night photos on an iPhone often come out blurry for one simple reason: in low light, the camera keeps the shutter open longer to collect more light. Any movement from your hands—or from the subject—can cause blur.

   Here are the biggest improvements you can make:

   1. Hold the phone as still as possible.

      • Tuck your elbows against your body.
      • Lean against a wall or rest the phone on a table, railing, or other stable surface.
      • If you have one, use a small tripod.

   2. Let Night mode finish.

      • When Night mode (the moon icon) appears, you'll see a timer (such as 1, 2, or 3 seconds).
      • Keep the phone completely still until the timer finishes.

   3. Tap to focus.

      • Tap on your subject before taking the picture.
      • If the scene is very dark, tap on the brightest part of your subject.

   4. Adjust the exposure.

      • After tapping to focus, slide your finger up or down on the sun icon to brighten or darken the image.
      • Avoid making it too bright, which can increase noise.

   5. Don't use digital zoom.

      • If possible, move closer instead.
      • Digital zoom reduces image quality, especially at night.

   6. Keep your lens clean.

      • Fingerprints can make night photos look soft and hazy.
      • Wipe the lens with a microfiber cloth or clean cotton shirt.

   7. Use the main (1×) camera.

      • The main camera usually performs much better in low light than the ultra-wide camera.

   8. Avoid moving subjects.

      • Even if your hands are steady, people walking, pets, or cars may blur because of the longer exposure.

   9. Use a timer if the phone is resting on something.

      • A 3-second timer prevents the shake caused by pressing the shutter button.

   If your photos are still blurry

   • Check whether the lens protector or camera case is covering the lens.
   • Make sure the camera lens isn't scratched or fogged up.
   • Try taking the same photo during the day. If daytime photos are also blurry, there may be a camera hardware issue.

   A couple of questions:

   • Which iPhone model do you have?
   • Are the photos blurry because your hands shake, the people are moving, or everything looks out of focus? That will help narrow down the best fix.
