Solve all your blurry camera problems with this Google Pixel troubleshooting page. This will go over several common occurrences when it comes to your Google Phone's camera becoming blurry. This problem can be due to either software or hardware causes, so read on to determine the right solution for you!

Before giving any of the more in depth fixes a try, start with these common quickies.

Use a microfiber cloth to remove any oils or debris from the surface of the camera lens (either front facing or any in a rear assembly).
Restart your phone.
Check for any software updates to the phone. They can typically be found in Galaxy phones under Settings.

Some third-party apps (Snapchat, Instagram, etc.) have been known to limit quality. Additionally they won't make us of any photo processing done natively by the phone. This can resulting in sometimes blurry and overall lower-quality images.

Check to see if the issue occurs in the normal camera app.
If it does not, take the image in the Camera app if possible, then share to the app in question. This guarantees better you'll have a full quality image, even if the platform you're sharing to reduces the quality.
If it is only present in third party apps, or a specific app, try updating ay affected apps. Updates can introduce improvements to performance.

The native camera app that comes with the Google Pixel, like all Android apps, caches settings and other files on its own as you use the app. By clearing or resetting these files and settings, it must rebuild these files which can clear up image issues.

Go to the Settings app > Apps > See all apps (sometimes you will need to click App info instead) > Camera > Storage & cache > Clear Cache.
Retest. This may have cleared up the issue.

If you are trying to snap a selfie, you may be experiencing issues with the front-facing camera. The Google Pixel 3 and 4a's front-facing camera can result in blurry pictures if a certain distance from the camera is not met. Thankfully, this issue seems to have been fixed in more recent versions of the Android software so be sure to check for updates if you haven’t already.

Is there an audible noise when recording video? Some users experience an “insect” like or high-pitched noise that exists when the camera app is active. This means there is a greater hardware issue at play with the device. Replace the camera by following an iFixit guide.
