For the sharpest results in dim places, switch to 1×. The edges of ultra wide photos are also naturally softer than the centre.

Why do my 0.5× photos look blurry or soft?
Short answerThe ultra wide camera has a smaller sensor than the main camera, so it struggles in low light, and on some older models it doesn’t autofocus. Use it in good light, keep the lens clean, and step back from close subjects.
