iPhone 16 Pro camera app

My iPhone 16 Pro camera app has changed overnight to an old style camera app similar to my previous iPhone 11. Has anyone else had this experience and what did you do?

To fix a simplified or reset iPhone 16 Pro camera app, go to Settings > Camera > Photographic Styles and select Standard, or check your Preserve Settings and UI indicator options to restore modern menu layouts and control bars. 


If this is not working try a forced restart to see if the issues persist

  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
