You would have to try out each of the below-mentioned workarounds until one of them spells out success for you. So keeping this in mind, let’s get started.

Clear Camera Lens

As obvious as it may sound, it should be worth a try. So start off by clearing the lens of the camera with a clean cloth. Then try taking a picture and see if it works out.

Force Stop Camera App

If one of the app’s background processes faces any issue, then the entire app might have to face its consequences. So the best bet, in such cases, is to start afresh instance of that app. Here’s how to do so for the stock camera app:

  1. To begin with, head over to the Settings page on your device.
  2. Then go to Apps and Notifications > App Info.
  3. Scroll to the Camera app and select it.
  4. Then tap Force Stop and reply OK in the confirmation dialog box.
  5. Wait for a few seconds and then relaunch the app.

See if it fixes the blurry photos issue on your OnePlus 9 device.

Check Pending Updates

If the issue is being widely faced by many users, then the OEM usually releases a patch that fixes this issue. And this patch is accompanied by an OTA update.

So head over to Settings > System > System Update and if you find a pending update, download and install it right away. Then restart the device and check if it fixes the blurry photos issue on your OnePlus 9.

Try Google Camera

If the stock camera app is causing a few issues, then you may consider switching over to an alternate camera app for the time being. In this regard, the Google Camera app could perfectly fit in the void.

Reset Device

Well, if the alternate camera app is also giving out blurry photos on your OnePlus 9, then there might be issues with how the system is processing the image.

So in those cases, your next course of action should be a factory reset.

Do keep in mind that doing so will lead to data loss, so take a device backup beforehand. Once done, proceed with the below steps:

  1. Go to Settings > System page on your device.
  2. Then head over to Reset Options and select Delete all data.
  3. Finally, tap on the Erase all data button and wait for the process to finish.

Once done, restart the device and set it up by signing in with your Google account. Verify if it rectifies the camera issues or not.

Contact Support Team

Even if the resetting doesn’t work out for you, then chances are the issue could be associated with the hardware side.

But before directly ending over to the service center, first, consider contacting the OnePlus or T-Mobile support staff and then chalk out the best route forward accordingly.

These above-mentioned ways will definitely help out in improving camera quality.

Also, some steps are good to improve system performance other than just fixing the camera.
