After the iPhone X was released people were stoked about its new shiny Camera that has been called one of the best cameras on a phone which Apple strongly pushes in its advertisements. However people have been complaining about their iPhone camera not focusing especially on close ups.

How to fix the iPhone autofocus problem
Even though Apple has a strict quality assurance it happens that your brand new iPhone has a busted Camera right out of the box. If you are having issues with your iPhone Camera not focusing you should try the following:
Hold the camera button
If your Pictures turn out blurry and the wanted object you’re trying to take a Photo of try holding and pressing down the Camera button until the Picture is clear and then let go of the button and the picture should turn out perfect
Tap on the camera
Another solution to the problem is to tap on the Camera with your finger. This tells the distance sensor that there is an object close by and resets it. Many people have reported that pressing on the camera with the palm of your hand will fix your iPhone Camera from not focusing properly.
Restart your iPhone
It can happen that the weirdest Issues can be caused by software glitches. Simply turn off your iPhone and turn it back on should help resolve your problem in certain cases.
