How do I get rid of Numbers and icons that appear in every camera shot photo at top and bottom of photos
How to remove numbers and icons from iPhone camera shots?
It sounds like you might be referring to the camera interface elements that appear on the screen while you are taking a photo, rather than elements that are permanently part of the photo itself. These interface elements, such as icons and numbers indicating settings or modes, are typically not captured in the final image.
If you are seeing these elements in your saved photos, it's possible that you are accidentally capturing a screenshot instead of a regular photo, or that a third-party app is overlaying these elements.
To take a regular photo:
The interface elements should disappear once the photo is taken and saved.
If you are still experiencing this issue, please provide more details about what specific numbers and icons you are seeing and where they appear in the saved photo.
