Users say that the video call quality from the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro appear blurry. The issue persists in popular apps such as Google Meet, WhatsApp, Instagram, and other video calling apps.

One user on the Reddit sub-forums suggested that the video call apps are not utilising the correct camera APIs, which is why the output is blurry. After all, the Pixel 7 has one of the best still photo and video cameras on the market today, and blurry video calls can be attributed to software issues. Google is yet to acknowledge the problem and figure out a solution.
