Camera glare

[Are We There Yet]

I dropped my phone.

Now my pictures have a glare if point camera toward light source.

Do you have an old picture before you dropped it?
I actually like the look of pics 2 & 4. That is the glare you speak of I believe.

sounds like a hardware issue....especially after a drop. not sure what you are asking. you can either get if fixed, replaced (via insurance or warranty), or upgrade your phone.

Did you wipe the lens before taking photos?

Exactly my first thought. A smudge on the lens (or maybe a scratch - hopefully not).

I'll try it again tomorrow in the daylight.

Yea, if it just started doing that for no reason I'd play around with different scenarios. Definitely give it a could wipe with microfiber etc
