The iPhone 16 brings an impressive range of new features to help you get the most out of your photos. One of the outstanding new features is the photographic styles, which allow you to specifically adjust certain colors and tones and thus take the look of your photos to a whole new level. Below you will learn how to make the most of this feature to make your shots even more individual and professional.
With the new iPhone 16 series (including iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max) you have more control over how your photos appear. The photographic styles go far beyond conventional filters: They intelligently adapt to the respective skin tones and allow you to personalize your images in a way that was previously only possible in professional photo studios. Whether you prefer warm, soft colors or cool, high-contrast tones - the styles are flexible and versatile.
How to choose your default photo style on iPhone 16
The first step to personalize your shots is to choose a suitable photographic style. Once you set your style, this default will automatically be applied to all your future photos - but don't worry, you can change it at any time. The process is simple and straightforward:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone 16.
- Tap “Camera” and scroll to the app settings.
- Select Photo Styles and tap Get Started to begin setup.
Here you have the option to choose between different styles that are optimized for skin tones and lighting conditions. Whether you prefer natural, high-contrast or warm colors - there is a style to suit every taste. This preset is applied to every photo you take, but it can also be customized for each shot.
How to adjust your photo style
The iPhone 16 camera gives you full control over the look of your images. You can adjust tone, color and intensity in real time, even before you press the shutter button. This makes the process not only flexible but also incredibly efficient. Here's how to do it:
- Open the camera app on your iPhone 16.
- Tap the dotted square in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Adjust tone and color by dragging your finger across the square below the viewfinder.
- Adjust the intensity of the selected style with the slider below the square.
As you make these adjustments, iPhone shows you the exact tone, color, and intensity values in real time at the top of the screen, making it extra easy to get the look you want. If you make a mistake, just tap the circular arrow to reset the settings.
Switching between different styles
If you want to add variety to your photos, the Camera app also offers a variety of other photographic styles. Here's how to choose a new style:
- Tap the dotted square again.
- Swipe left or right to switch between different styles like Amber, Rose Gold, Quiet or Ethereal.
