Camera vibrating when using WhatsApp

I have an issue with my 14 Pro.

When I used the camera on WhatsApp, the camera just started to shake. I closed app and opened again and it was fine, but scary to have this happen to a newly phone (I only have it for one day).

This has happened to multiple people, it seems to happen for 3rd party apps (so in WhatsApp, TikTok, Snapchat, etc) and as the phone is new, this happening to so many people in the first 2 days is a bit scary.

Apple, can you please answer if this a software issue that will be fixed asap with an update, and will the vibration cause any issues to the camera?? Or is this a hardware issue and we should all exchange our phones?


I leave here a tweet of somebody that caught on camera the issue, but many people already reporting this issue: https://twitter.com/naaackers/status/1571132674055741442?s=46&t=tZgaLlNugZdXl6Pg-PSCQA

update: I was just on the call with Apple Support and they diagnosed my phone and said it is not anything hardware, everything looks ok. If it was hardware it would happen also when using camera normally, not only with 3rd party apps. And they logged the issue and probably will be fixed in the next update and that I should always update to the new version on IOS as soon as it’s available.

And that if it happens again, i should screen record it and send it to them. And that it would help they investigate even further.

So if you face same issue, you should also contact Apple just so they know how many people have this issue.
