When I go to take a picture I get something like you'd get a better picture if you would clean the lens. I'm afraid I may scratch the rear camera lens if I try to clean it. Is there a safe method to cleaning the lenses cause they can scratch. I've heard about this happening.

Those lenses as far as I know are a crystal of some type and are very hard to scratch, a regular microfiber cloth for cleaning eyeglasses will work really good, that's what I use, too. I hope it helps. Cheers.

I just use the bottom part of whatever shirt I'm wearing. Done that for years as the first thing I do before using the camera on my phone. Never had a lens scratch from doing that since 2007.

And I check that lens all the time by looking at letting a light reflect from it to see if anything is on it or happening to it.

Hello catloverplayer, I understand your concerns with wanting to clean your camera lens. When cleaning your camera lens, be gentle and avoid applying too much pressure, as this can scratch or damage the lens. Avoid using liquids or cleaning solutions to clean your camera lens, as they can damage the lens or seep into the phone's internal components.

Before cleaning your camera lens, make sure your phone is turned off to avoid any accidental button presses.

Gently wipe the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or smudges. Avoid using paper towels or tissues, as they can scratch the lens.

If the lens is still dirty, use a microfiber cloth to gently clean the lens like many users suggested. Microfiber cloths are designed to be gentle on lenses and won't leave scratches.

I use those microfiber towels the eye clinic gives you when you get a pair of glasses. I have also picked up large ones called Magicfiber, you can get a 6 pack for less then $10 and are a decent eyeglass/lens cleaning towel.
