IPhone 12 Pro Camera not focusing after IOS 16.1.1 update

Hi all! Last night I updated to iOS 16.1.1 and today my camera won’t auto focus (or focus at all) when using the 1x or 2x magnification. It works ok on 0.5. I’ve tried restarting the app and the phone and can’t seem to find a fix anywhere?

Thank you so much, these tips were great but still no luck. I’ll try giving feedback to Apple as you mentioned.
