How to Take Great Dating Photos With Your iPhone
iPhone camera settings for dating photos
Switch to Portrait mode for a natural background blur that makes you the focal point. Tap on your face to lock focus and exposure, then swipe up or down to fine-tune brightness. Turn on the grid in Settings to help you frame shots using the rule of thirds for better composition.
Using the timer and burst mode
Set the self-timer to 3 or 10 seconds, prop your phone on a tripod or stable surface, and use burst mode to capture multiple frames. Review the burst and pick the best expression. This technique gives you the variety of a photoshoot without needing anyone else behind the camera.
