How to Enable Camera Grid Lines on iPhone for Better Photos

Over the past years, Apple has worked hard to ensure that its iPhones can take good photos and high-quality videos. Today, you can buy an iPhone just for its professional camera set. If you have a YouTube channel and broadcast many videos. Or even if you are one of those creative people and content creators on social media applications and websites who share all the moments of your life with your followers, be sure that the iPhone will not let you down. But there are still some features that the camera program on the phone lacks, and one of those features is the grid lines feature or known as Camera Grid.

The basic idea behind the grid lines feature is to follow the law or “rule of thirds” in the world of photography. If you haven’t heard of it before, let us explain it to you quickly from the following lines and we will also show you its importance and how to activate it easily.

What is the rule of thirds in photography? 

The rule of thirds in photography states that you can take better photos by focusing the image on a specific subject. By placing the subject at the intersection of the grid lines divide the image into thirds. This all means that your subject is not supposed to be in the middle, but in the left or right third of the frame.

The idea of this feature is to achieve balance in the image and to make it look more professional and skillful. However, if you are a talented and experienced photographer, you can apply the rule of thirds without the need to apply “grid lines” because it is just a matter of habit and practice. But if you are a beginner in the world of photography with your iPhone camera, then the “grid lines” feature will definitely be a helping hand for you to get great and more professional photos.

How to enable grid lines on iPhone camera?

To be able to enable the grid lines feature on the iPhone, you will first need to enable it from the camera application from within the settings. Follow the steps shown below:

• Go to the Settings application Settings then click on the Camera.
• In the Composition section Composition activate the Grid indicator Grid
• And now open the camera application normally and make sure yourself that the grid lines feature is activated on the camera

If the feature is activated correctly, you will notice as soon as you open the camera application two vertical lines and two horizontal lines to create three rows and columns. In this way, you can apply the basic rule of thirds in the world of photography in your photos with ease. It is worth noting that the grid lines will remain activated regardless of the shooting mode or style that you prefer to use on your iPhone camera.

If you want to master the world of photography with your iPhone camera, you should activate the Camera Grid lines. To get a more realistic balance in the images and apply the rule of thirds at the same time. Unfortunately, Apple wanted to remove this feature from the camera application itself, but fortunately it is easy to access it through the settings. We just hope that the feature will be available within the camera application in future updates to make it easier to activate or deactivate it without having to exit the application.
