Please bring a update so that we can manually control processing of our selfies in iphone 14 & iphone 15 series. Selfies are so bad after they are taken. They get overly processed😢

Is there a 2x zoom option in 13 pro. How to enable it, as I cannot see the option.

[romella_karmey]

I always slide the depth of field to 16 because the blur separation of background and subject is not yet perfect
