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.

Same problem iPhone 13 mini, upgraded to 18.0.1 in hope it would fix but didn’t. I’ve noted that camera works fine when using via another app (e.g. WhatsApp or Pro Camera).

As a possible temporary fix I’ve toggled the QR reading function off in Settings>Camera>Scan QR Codes and Show Detected Text and it seems to have worked…
