Main iPhone Camera
The lens is blocking your camera because the native iPhone app comes disabled with the Macro mode. To fix this, please follow the tutorial below:
Telephoto iPhone Camera
Currently, iPhone's dual or triple native camera app does not allow you to separately use the Wide/Telephoto camera. Since the dual camera does not treat each camera independently, you will experience blackouts when switching between them while using any external lens.
We suggest using third-party camera apps of which our favorites
Blackmagic Camera for filmmaking (video)
The Lightroom app has a dual lens option on the top right of the app when you open it (see screenshot below). You can switch between the main or secondary camera by a simple tap.
And one last tip: when using our Telephoto on the secondary camera, as it's very zoomed, you'll want to always tap-to-focus on a subject when you take photos.
