How to fix Red eye from your iPhone photos iOS 26

🗓️ April 16, 2026, By ✍️ Karly Wood

Red-eye in iPhone photos is a common issue, especially when using the flash. It happens because the pupil doesn’t close fast enough, allowing the bright flash to reflect off the back of the eye. This reflection appears red due to the blood vessels behind the retina, known as the choroid. In some cases, eyes may even appear yellowish depending on lighting and eye color. Fortunately, the iPhone’s built-in Red Eye correction tool makes it easy to fix this problem quickly—even for photos of pets.
