When Apple rolls out iOS 26 this fall, it’s going to bring some significant changes to some of your most-used iPhone apps — including Camera.
That’s right, your iPhone’s default camera app is getting quite the overhaul. The most significant thing is that it’ll have a redesigned interface that streamlines taking photos and videos.
When you open the Camera app, a lot of the more advanced capture modes (like Cinematic or Portrait) and adjustable settings (like Flash or Night Mode) will be hidden from view — but still easily accessible with a swipe. The idea is that Apple wants to remove clutter.
Aside from a new look, the Camera app is getting a simple but useful new feature … one that everyone with an iPhone can take advantage of. It’s called “Lens Cleaning Hint.”
A Lens Cleaning Hint
Have you ever taken a photo (or video) on your iPhone and, after the fact, noticed that the lens wasn’t exactly clean? Maybe there was some dust or a finger smudge on the lens, causing the photo (or video) not to look as pristine as it could have.
