iPhone camera app keeps crashing after iOS 18 Update

iPhone 13 Mini running newly released iOS 18. Now camera suddenly crashing upon opening and/or lagging. Can't use camera functionality at all really. Reboot fixes it but only for one picture. Clearly not a hardware issue as this is being reported in multiple forums / across device models. Camera seems to be trying to grab addresses / info / QR codes at times and that seems a problem? Is there an anticipated bug fix? Other workarounds? I don't really want to have to do a reset (I lose data every time I do.) This iOS shouldn't have been released to public in this state.

I'm also very frustrated with all the issues I'm having with my iPhone 13 since the iOS 18 update. My camera crashes, screen keeps freezing, lagging when I type. Tried rebooting. I have contacted Apple, but told to take it to a store. That's a 2 hour drive there and back for me. My phone was fine until the update. Now it's practically useless. 😠

This happens routinely when I am on a call (phone or signal) on Ios 18 on an iPhone 16 pro as well. I think it's not limited to a specific phone model.

Me too. iPhone 15 pro max, camera app crashing constantly. Hard restart only fixes the issue for a while before it randomly starts crasing again.

Here's the fix! Go to Settings /Camera and turn off prioritize faster shooting. That did the trick. I also turned off Smart HDR so it might have been that too . Anyway, camera back to normal.
