iPhone 16 Pro camera freezes, requires phone restart Have had issues with camera freezing on iPhone 16 Pro (iOS Version 26.2.1) since I got the device over a year ago. Camera opens up and is usable immediately after restart, but eventually (after several opens) it begins freezing and renders the camera unusable until it the entire phone is restarted again. Doesn't matter how the app is opened. Is not resolved with a simple camera restart - must restart the phone itself. Storage is not the issue (has 50GB remaining). Camera is clean/debris free. Restarting is only a very temporary fix. Was set up initially using my Apple ID with photos going back to 2014. Is there a fix for this or am I just out of luck?

We are not Apple but you could book a genius bar appointment https://support.apple.com

If force restart does not give a settled fix then it could be hardware, or some incompatible software app like for example a VPN.
