Kids have sticky fingers. If they touch your iPhone, expect smudges on your camera lens. That means the next time you take a photo, the pic might have a weird haze about it, and you'll have to take the photo multiple times. It's not always your kids' fault either. Even adults can be to blame for a dirty camera lens. Luckily, with the iOS 26 beta there is a feature that can warn you when your camera lens needs cleaning, that way you don't waste a perfectly good sunset or other Instagrammable mome
