Streaks around lights on pictures.

My galaxy s23 ultra takes pics with huge streaks around lights. My son has same phone and his is fine. How can I fix this?

This issue typically arises from smudges, fingerprints, or oil residue on the camera lens, often transferred from accidental contact with the hand. To prevent this, I make it a habit to clean the camera lenses with something like my shirt or a microfiber cloth before capturing photos or videos.

However, if a protective case covers the lenses, it could also be the cause of the streaks.

Lastly, a deep scratch on the lens may be the culprit, necessitating its replacement.

Unfortunately, it's not those. I usually do clean the lens, took off protective cover a few months back.

It is a lens flare so if you go to your pro settings you will need to experiment with the aperture. Per Google, it says:

Locate the aperture value (usually denoted by f-stops) and adjust it to a higher number (e.g., f/16 or higher). This narrows the opening of the lens, reducing the amount of light entering and potentially reducing lens flare.
