iPhone 14 Camera freezes/blurry after last update
iOS Camera app is normal for a few seconds, then freezes, blurs and loops
I have an iPhone 14 running the latest version of iOS (18.3.1). I believe this is a software issue that presented itself a few days ago when I updated the operating system.
Symptoms/Problem: When opening the default iOS camera app and only when using the rear camera, the viewfinder shows up as normal for several seconds, then the picture freezes, goes blurry, and resets to normal again for several seconds. This process loops indefinitely regardless of the photo mode used (picture, portrait, cinematic, video, etc.). At no point during this process is the phone able to take or save a video or photo with the rear camera. When using a third-party app with rear camera functionality such as Instagram or Snapchat, the camera functions normally. I have lots of available storage space (50.89 GB) remaining on both my iPhone and iCloud accounts. Please help me fix this problem.
iPhone 14, iOS 18
