The photo leveling feature is present in all iPhones running iOS17 or later. It’s usually off to keep your phone’s camera interface from getting too busy, but once you turn it on, you probably won’t want to turn it back off.
To enable the leveling feature, just do the following:
-
Open the Settings app.
-
Scroll down and tap the Camera option.
-
Scroll down to the Composition section of the Camera settings.
-
Toggle on the Level option.
Just like that, the leveling feature has been enabled, and should become visible next time you open the Camera app. If you ever do want to turn it back off, just follow these same settings and flip the toggle off to remove it. Note that this feature functions slightly differently depending on what you’re pointing the camera at, the precise differences between which we’ll get to in a moment.
