Overview
A cool feature in the Camera app is the Camera Level. What is the level on the iPhone camera? It appears on the iPhone screen as you are taking your photo. The level will help you ensure that the photos you take are as straight as possible without obstructing too much of the picture while you’re taking it.
The level feature is really helpful and simple to use. One of the cool things about it is that it understands whether you’re taking the image in landscape or portrait and will automatically adjust. It also disappears if the photo you are taking is intentionally off-level. Let’s explore how to enable the level on the iPhone camera:.
Takeaways
- Always take level photos with the leveler right on the screen in the Camera app.
- Instead of straightening your image in the editing process, take the photo straight the first time.

Next, the Camera Level will appear as a white line.
Note! The level will only appear if you are holding the camera upright; if you are taking a bird’s eye view picture, a cross will appear to help you hold your phone level.
Refer to the image below:
Now, when the corners turn yellow and do not shake, you will know the image is level. Additionally, a slight vibration may indicate that it is level. You can now take your shot. See the image below:
That’s how to adjust the iPhone Camera Level setting! Now you can make sure all your photos are perfectly level.
