Want to make the most out of your iPhone XR’s camera? You can shoot stunning 4K videos at 24, 30, or 60 frames per second (fps)—but it’s not enabled by default. You’ll need to tweak a few settings first. Don’t worry, it’s quick and easy.

Here’s how to set up your iPhone XR to shoot 4K at 60fps:


Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open the Settings app from your Home screen.
  2. Scroll down and tap Camera.
  3. Tap Record Video.
  4. Select 4K at 60 fps to enable it.
