To take a clear photo of the full moon on an iPhone use this popular video capture trick.
Open up the camera app and switch to video mode
Zoom in as far as your iPhone’s telephoto lens allows
Tap on the moon on your screen to set focus
Lower the exposure by dragging down the little sun icon beside the focus box until the bright glow disappears and the surface details pop out
Press record on the video and keep your hands as steady as possible (or use a tripod) and tap the white shutter button in the corner to snap a photo while still filming
Once the photo is in your gallery you can edit/ adjust the sharpness and contrast to your taste.
Save this for the next full moon
