Iphone 13 mini camera app freezing

My iphone 13 camera works perfectly on third party apps like snapchat , instagram and WhatsApp but the camera app keeps freezing. It works on panorama , slo-mo and time lapse mode. But the portrait, photo, video and cinematic modes doesn’t work.

PS: portrait and cinematic works on third party apps.

ios has been updated to 16.1 version

Hello Freshnoname,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. To help troubleshoot the Camera app on your iPhone, let's force close the Camera app. Then, let's restart your iPhone and test to see if you're able to use the variety of camera modes without any issue. Following these steps may help.


If needed, here's how to force close an app:


1. From the Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle of the
screen.

2. Swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close. 

3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close the app. 

These steps are outlined here for you to reference: Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch


Best regards.

Freshnoname,


Thanks for those details. If you haven't already, try restarting your iPhone to see if the issue persists. Sometimes restarting can resolve unexpected behavior.


1.) Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
The volume button is located on the left side of the device, and the side button is located on the right

2.) Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3.) To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Should the issue persist, contact Apple Support. They will be able to look into this with you further.


Have a great day!
