Just because your iPhone 12 has a cracked lens, flickering camera, or is taking blurry photos, doesn’t mean that your device is a goner! Fixing iPhone 12 camera issues might be easier than you think, thanks to CPR’s iPhone 12 camera troubleshooting guide.
Whether you own the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, or iPhone 12 Pro Max, your device comes equipped with one of the best smartphone cameras on the market. Sometimes accidental damage, software glitches, and phone accessories can prevent you from snapping the perfect photo. If you have a cracked lens, the only solution is to replace it at a repair shop or through Apple Support. If your camera is suffering from another issue, it’s possible you can troubleshoot it on your own without the help of a skilled repair technician.
Before opting for an iPhone 12 camera replacement, try these troubleshooting tips to get your camera back up and running.
Remove Your Device from the Case
If your photos are blurry or parts of the image have dark blobs over them, try removing your case. Some cases aren’t designed properly and can obstruct the view of your lens.
Clean Your Lenses
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini feature a dual 12 MP camera, whereas the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max feature a Pro 12MP camera with ultra-wide, wide, and telephoto cameras. Regardless of which model you own, your device should take insanely detailed, crisp photos. If your photos appear blurry or discolored, try cleaning your lenses with a microfiber cloth.
Restart the Camera App
If your camera is lagging or glitching, try closing all of your applications and then reopening the camera app. Sometimes, having too much going on in the background can cause apps to perform slowly or stop working.
Update Your iOS
One of the most common ways to fix a glitching iPhone 12 camera is to update your software. Oftentimes, Apple releases new software to fix commonly reported bugs in essential apps like cameras, messaging and more. Be sure that you’re using the most up-to-date iOS to eliminate any bugs that may be impacting your camera.

Before you opt for an iPhone 12 battery replacement at CPR, try these tips to extend the life of your battery.
One of the easiest ways to preserve battery life is by using Low Power Mode. This battery-saving mode helps to temporarily reduce background activity until your phone is charged. Turn on Low Power Mode by navigating to Settings > Battery. Then, toggle on Low Power Mode.
Apps that use location tagging can be a significant drain on your iPhone 12 battery. You can turn off Location Services altogether by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and toggling off Location Services. Alternatively, you can select which apps can use your location and when they can use it by scrolling down on the Location Services screen and making changes app-by-app.
Most iPhone 12 users opt for auto-brightness, in which the device adjusts screen brightness based on your light conditions. When trying to preserve battery life, turn down your screen brightness by dragging the screen brightness bar down from your Control Center.
Another great way to maximize your iPhone 12’s battery life is to use a charging case or carry an external battery. There are several fantastic iPhone 12 charging case options on the market, but we typically recommend mophie® battery cases because they are slim and pack some serious power.
If you’ve tried all of the above tips without success, it may be time for an iPhone 12 battery replacement. At CPR Cell Phone Repair, battery replacement is quick and painless. Often, it can be completed while you wait in your local shop. To get started, find a CPR store near you. For a free quote, call, visit or request a quote online.
