Camera crashing on iPhone 13 mini IOS 17.5.1

I have the same issue. I am not able to take pictures using the camera app. My phone also crashes when I take photos when I am in the messaging app. I have been searching online and have not found any luck yet. The only temporary fix is restarting my iPhone.

2. Tap: Screen Time
3. Tap: Content & Privacy Restrictions
4. Enter: Keycode
5. Tap: Allowed Apps
6. Tap: Camera (So it is Green-Colored)

B. Restart iPhone:

Go Here: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

C. Are you Using a Case?

Make sure that the back camera is not covered(somewhat) - For note: the microphone part is located between the lens and the flash. So, make sure all is not covered.

as a last resort...

D. Restore form a Backup:

Have a backup of your iPhone prior to this occurrence? If you are not concerned with losing data, then restore your iPhone from a backup that was made when Wi-Fi was working. Prior to restoring, backup your iPhone, incase anything goes wrong with the restoration. If not backup, then know to always have one created prior to installing an update, to avoid things like this in the future. So, create a backup, prior to this restoration.
