Camera app of my iPhone 16 Pro Max keeps crashing

It happens to me too. I'm on an iPhone Pro Max using 18.0.1

The front camera freezes out therefore Face ID isn't working for me. The main camera turns out black. None of this happened on 18.0

My front camera is coming and going. there is a bug on ios 18. still not fixed.

Same here, face id works perfectly, rear camera works perfectly but when i switch to the front it becomes black and sometimes blurry, ios 18.0.1

My phone got same problem like yours. My 16 pro worked fine before updating to 18.0.1.

My camera app crashes every time (the app windows turns black). It did this with iOS 18.0 and it still occurs with the latest update (18.0.1). It doesn’t matter if I use the new Camera Control or not.

I have the iPhone 16 Pro Max...[Re-Titled by Moderator]

I experienced this problem as well on my iPhone 16 Pro 256 GB phone. After several attempts to restart the Camera app I restarted my iPhone. Seems to have solved the problem as it has not happened again.

Me too, my 16 pro always crash after I open camera or even in other apps access to camera. It worked fine before updating to 18.0.1.

Anyone found out a solution to this? I restored the iPhone as a new one, the front facing camera doesn't work at all so signing in to anything is out of the picture, and now the main camera works turns out black most of the times.

This didn't happen at all on 17.X or 18.0.

Same for me! I have a iPhone 13 Pro 128GB and immediatly after updating to 18.0.1 the iPhone camera app (and the flashlight) stopped working altogether. Until 18.0.0 everything worked perfectly.

When launching main camera the camera screen goes black and sometimes after 10 seconds it starts working and sometimes it doesn't, while the front facing camera NEVER started to work. The flashlight works 30% of the time and when it does after 20 seconds or so stops anyway.

This is the craziest and most absurd bug I ever had in so many years using iPhones! Especially since I can't basically use FaceID anymore and can't log on so many secured Apps. I REALLY hope Apple fixes this as soon as possible and if someone knows what to do please help us.

My camera also sometimes shows a black screen when I try to take a photo. When I take a portrait photo and review the photo the background is not blurred. Sometimes I’ll take a video and when I go to review the video it didn’t record. When I open the camera it’s always on x2 zoom. This update really messed up my camera. Also. Yesterday I got an error code saying that the camera parts in my phone were not recognized as genuine Apple parts but I’ve never had anything replaced on my phone. I never had any issues with my phone before the 18.0.1 update. Please fix this!!!

This is what's happening to my front facing camera:

Camera Glitch in ios 18.0.1

I have an iPhone 13 and since I updated to iOS 18.0.1 my camera app crashes whenever I try to take a photo. It's annoying and pretty embarrassing since this problem seems to be quite common.

Can I roll back to a previous OS?

Update:

On October 15 I was given an appointment at an Apple authorized reseller. They checked my phone and told me it had a a problem with the sensor of the front facing camera. That the phone was under full warranty. It took a week for them to told me that the new sensor wasn’t working either, that maybe the problem was with the mother board, but that they needed to check with another new sensor first. Another week passed and they told me the problem was with the motherboard and that Apple would replace my phone with a new one. Two more weeks have passed wince this and they keep telling me that I should wait "a bit more".

It is very frustrating to pay a premium price for a mobile phone, just for it to fail up beyond the point of reparation after just 9 months of use, and then be another whole month without it.

I'm very dissapointed.
