Question about taking photos with iPhone through Swarovski scope (1 Viewer)

I have been taking photos through my Swarovski scope with my iPhone 12 and got top quality photos. The photos were taken hand held over the eyepiece without any adapter.
Now I bought the iPhone 13 and I can not get any photos, I can not even see the object!
I am so disappointed and Apple could not provide me with any help.
My question is: Have others experienced the same problem. Is there an adjustment issue?
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
 
Hi Alfred and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. I've moved your post to the Digiscoping forum where they're better placed to be able to advise you.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.
 
I have a Swarovski ‘scope and iPhone 13, hopefully this will help.
note - I have invested in a phoneskope case and adapter - much, much easier

1. Turn the camera on
2. Hold a few inches away from the eyepiece
3. Observe the eyepiece
4. Move in to place the correct camera lens over the eyepiece
