Please fill out the following sections to the best of your ability, it will help us investigate bugs if we have this information at the outset. Screenshots are especially helpful, so please provide those if you can.
Platform iOS
App version number, if a mobile app issue (shown under Settings or About): 3.3 build 711
Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):
When using the iNat IOS app Camera button to take a photo of an insect, or moss, or otherwise something small, it never seems to switch into macro mode no matter how close I get. This is less than ideal for jumping spiders and other small critters, which usually end up out of focus when I take a picture with my phone.
If instead I switch to the built-in Camera app, the phone automatically switches into macro mode when I get close, and I get much better pictures for ID.
I’m not able to replicate on my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 17.0.3 and iNat app 3.3 (711). If I move the camera close to my keyboard it switches to macro view.
Problem does not equal bug (the other posts are not bug reports). I was under the impression this is not something iNaturalist can control, but maybe that is not true.
