Camera app crashing on my iPhone 16 Pro Max

Me too. Apps locking up, adding attachments to text, emails, etc. one big Apple hot mess. The 18.1 helped some with my camera. Battery life and phone getting hot is another issues.

End of day 2 after complete reset and rebuild (not from backup) and no more issues encountered (this is with heavy use and taking pictures as I’m traveling).

It's not just Pro Max. My iPhone 16 (neither Pro nor Max) has exactly the same camera crashing issue as everyone else.

Mate can you provide more information? are you testing a beta release?

Camera app crashing on my iPhone 16 Pro Max

I can’t believe I have an Apple product. I should have waited for two months before buying the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Hello everyone, I switched off the noise detection three days ago and the camera has not crashed since then.

SAME! The camera is UNUSABLE on my new 16 Pro Max…. Beyond annoying and frustrating on the “latest and greatest” iPhone. Do better Apple.

I have the same problem with my phone.

the phone is updated and restarted every day…still not working properly and crashing every time I try to take a picture😱😳😡

I have the same issue. This is so annoying! I need to restart my device every time I launch the Camera app. Even phone call is an issue as well. I was not audible until I restart the device.

It crashed every time I launch the camera app :-(

YES!I I completely forgot I lost microphone as well as overheating.

If you're in the UK you will have heard of the Post Office Computer system scandal where they said the same to all the sub postmasters....while knowing full-well it was a system error. .....

Ok, I wanted to wait a week before posting my results because some fixed listed will still have the issue 3 or 4 days later return. Now thats it’s been 9 days I feel comfortable confirming that doing a full reset will fix the issue without loosing all your apps. I did not have to install a fresh iOS for this fix. I would recommend updating to iOS 18.0.1 or newer first.

To be clear. I am glad the camera is working. But not happy to have to do this just to fix something apple wont admit to being a software screw up on their part. It probably the same settings they changed that bricked some of the new iPad Pro M45 models.

CAUTION: You do not have to do erase all. Just do RESET ALL SETTINGS.

Under SETTINGS app

GENERAL

At the bottom TRANSFER or RESET iPhone

RESET

Then choose RESET ALL SETTINGS

Although reset all setting can be annoying it’s not as bad as loosing all your apps and app arrangements on the phone.

In short it’s like setting up a new phone without having to enter your iCloud password, email account passwords, pairing bluetooth devices or waiting for all the apps to download again. But this has fixed the camera issues, and an issue I had with a 3rd party wireless charger only charging to 65% now works. This is still annoying and takes some time if you have a lot of custom settings and apps installed like I do, but its faster then a full clean install and setting everything up again without a backup.

Once you do this, you will want to run a backup so the corrupted version gets over written in the cloud. And again run a backup once you have set everything up. NOTE: I had backup photos turned off so It wouldn’t use all my iCloud space. The reset turned photos back on causing my backup fail. So just turn off what you had off before and the backup should work again.

Home Automation NOTE: By doing a reset all settings this did not affect my HomeKit setup with 60 automations or my shortcut app with 117 shortcuts. NOTE: Some automations may fail because you might have to give location services permissions again to the Home app.

Resting all settings will require you to do the following so make sure you know your app logins and WiFi passwords. Or I would recommend changing your app login if you forgot it before doing a reset all.

Set up zoom and text sizes and any accessibility settings.

Set up WiFi passwords.

Set up Apple Pay

Apple Cash

Log into all the apps again

Setup Face ID and phone password again

Set up Mission Control preferences if you changed them previously

Set up photos app preferences and order if you had changed them

Reset backup settings

Connect car play again

And maybe some other little things I might be missing.
