Fix iPhone 14 Pro shaky camera on Snapchat, Instagram, etc with this workaround

Apple has already said that it will patch the iPhone 14 Pro shaky camera issue in an update coming next week. However, in the interim, Apple Support has offered a temporary fix for iPhone 14 Pro owners to use third-party apps like Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, and other third-party apps.

Earlier this week, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max users reported that the phones’ cameras shook incessantly and produced rattling noises on third-party apps only, not the native camera app.
