Camera delay and black screen on iPhone 16

Hello, lately I've noticed that whenever I open the camera through the camera control button, the picture freezes for 2-3 seconds and then everything is fine until a few hours later. Sometimes it's just a black screen for a few seconds and then it's fine again. It's not a big deal but it's very annoying. Does anyone else have this problem and do you have any solutions? My phone is an iPhone 16 on iOS 18.3.2

Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:

Force Quit the Camera App – Swipe up from the bottom, hold, and then swipe up on the Camera app to close it completely. Then reopen it.
Restart Your iPhone – A simple restart can clear up temporary glitches.
Check for Software Updates – Even though you're on iOS 18.3.2, Apple might release a minor fix soon. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check.
Clear Storage – If your storage is nearly full, it could slow down the camera. Check under Settings > General > iPhone Storage and free up space if needed.
Reset Camera Settings – Go to Settings > Camera > Reset Settings and see if that helps.
Test in Safe Mode – Uninstall any third-party camera apps or widgets that might be interfering and test if the issue persists.

If the problem continues, it could be a bug in iOS 18.3.2. You might want to report it to Apple via the Feedback app or wait for a future update. Hope this helps!
