iOS 18.2 camera control zoom is slow after latest update

After updating to iOS 18.2 zooming with the camera control is very slow and gets easily stuck.


At first I thought it was a hardware issue and tried cleaning or even using the button without a case but it’s still very slow compared to how it used to be.


i really like how smooth and fast zooming with the camera control was but now is close to useless.

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
