As you may have heard, the new cameras on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have a problem with third-party apps causing their autofocus or OIS systems to go wild and vibrate uncontrollably. Apple is aware of the problem and is working on a solution.
This renders video captured with the camera unusable, and worse yet, it could end up damaging the hardware. However, the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus don’t seem to be affected.
Also, Apple’s camera app works fine, which suggests that this is a software rather than a hardware issue. Again, it’s only about third-party cameras. Of course, the installed apps shouldn’t be able to make your camera go haywire, so this is likely a bug with the camera API.

If your phone is experiencing this problem, you should know that there is no known workaround, other than not using Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and similar apps that trigger the problem – Apple says a fix will come next week, so you’ll have to hold on until to then.
