My camera app closes when I try to take a picture

Why do my apps and camera suddenly close when I try to use them or take a picture?

Nashl ~ Is the battery in your iPhone 7 the original?...


If the battery is weak from old age "performance management" effects come in to play such as:


  • Longer app launch times
  • Lower frame rates while scrolling
  • Backlight dimming (which can be overridden in Control Center)
  • Lower speaker volume by up to -3dB
  • Gradual frame rate reductions in some apps
  • During the most extreme cases, the camera flash will be disabled as visible in the camera UI
  • Apps refreshing in background may require reloading upon launch
