Camera app close when accessing Photos on a new iPhone

So I have one of the newest iphones and I got it quite recently, but whenever I open the Camera app and go to the Photos and I’m in there for a while it’ll just suddenly crash, not like a frozen screen crash but just kicks me out of the app. It’s sooooooo annoying does anyone have a solution to this?

Also make sure to have the latest iOS 26.7.2 installed on your iPhone, if you do not want to upgrade to iOS 27.2


If the force restart does not help, setting it back to factory settings, to rule out a software issue, would be the next step.

Set it up manually without the backup at first and test the camera app again.

If it works, restore from the latest backup and check again.
