iPhone 14 Pro camera crashes after updating to 18.2

I am annoyed by the camera app crashing too often after I have updated the iOS to the latest version of 18 Os. The main camera becomes black and unresponsive. However the front camera keeps working. I have to restarts the phone several times to make it work again. This newer updates are creating a lot of problem to the older phone like mine iPhone 14 Pro. Don’t know if Apple is doing it purposely or not . I have iPhone 16 also and it just works fine . Does anyone else also experience this problem?

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!



Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.



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.
