Portrait Mode 

Portrait mode is a popular feature in smartphone cameras designed to enhance the quality of photos, particularly those featuring people. It primarily achieves this by artificially blurring the background, creating a bokeh effect that draws attention to the subject. This effect mimics the shallow depth of field typically seen in professional photography with DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
