I have noticed some people having problems with getting their phones to focus up close. Most of the pictures end up a blur that is not really that much better than the description.
You can get lenses specifically made for macro photography but I have found that Phones can actually do a decent job without anything.
Here are a couple of tricks that will help force your phones camera to focus up close.
When you are taking a picture, place your hand between the object and your phone. Once the camera focuses on your hand move it out of the way. The camera will then focus on the next closest thing. Once that happens take the picture. It may take a little bit of trial and error to get it to focus on what you want.
Another way is to put a piece of paper or cardboard just behind what you are photographing. The depth of field will be about the same for everything so the camera will be able to focus more easily.
If you can’t get your camera to focus you probably have the camera too close. Try different distances until you find one that works. My phone has a minimum focal length of around 12".
In the end you might need to take the picture from farther away and crop it to show only what you want. Most smart phones have a basic photo manipulation app for things like cropping and rotating pictures.
If you want good advice on the forum taking good quality pictures helps a lot.
