There is 12mp , 50 mp and 200mp. Also on the back there is like 5 cameras. I know I should use the 12mp for UW photos , but which to use when 1x, 3x, 5x and 10x and up. Also which mode to use when, very confusing to me. 
Thank you for reading this and the answer.

Like @Dogpool says, 12mp is fine for all shots. I like to get crops out of my photos, so I shoot sometimes what the camera will allow. I use pro mode raw so I can better images in pro mode those I use 24mp. I am not worried file about storage, so I don't care about file sizes.

There are 4 cameras on the back, 200mp main 12mp ultra wide, 10mp 3x and a 50mp telephoto.

All take pretty good shots, I do adjust the white balance slider a little when using point and shoot.

Thanks for the answer. I will stick to 12mp for now. The part that confused me the most was, do i have to keep switching when im on 12mp mode. Say im on 12mp mode and zoom in 3x it will auto switch to 10mp or if i go 5x it will autoswitch to the telephoto lens

If you switch to the 3x it is 10mp.
No, you don't have to switch. Set it and forget it.

Pro mode raw is definitely better than expert raw in my opinion. Also Lightroom mobile has a built-in raw camera with uncompressed raw that works pretty good as well.

MP are subjective. But in terms of professional photographery 12Mp is more than enough unless you want to do dramatic cropping. Also using 1x 3x 5x 10x is also subjective. What are you shooting. What's the story you're telling. As for camera settings I tend to disable all HDR settings. Tom Rich and Steven Divish have good tutorials and guides for mobile photography and videos on YouTube

Thanks for the answer. 12mp is good i think. I was confused if i have to keep changing the mode when i am zooming in or no, or whether the phone will auto switch

I like to leave any auto switching off that way I have more control with what happens
