As title states, I figured it’s worth a try to inquire here if any knowledgable MR folks know why I can use Portrait mode with my older and much crummier camera iphone SE 2020, but I can’t do the same using the better camera(s) on my iPad Pro 2021?

Thanks in advance!

And to clarify, when I say portrait mode, I mean the software-related “portrait” mode that makes the background a bit fuzzy/blurry in an artsy way, NOT the Portrait vs. Landscape orientation (i.e. holding the device vertically or horizontally.)


Btw., for whatever reason, there is a “portrait” setting when using my ipad camera app at first, but selecting it flips the camera to the front-facing selfie camera only, so that to me is yet another level of weirdness, why I can use this mode with the front-facing camera only, which is smaller and lower quality than the larger and multiple lenses on the back of the iPad.
