Your Samsung S23 camera is an important part of your phone. It allows you to capture memories right before your eyes and in amazing quality too. However, if you have attempted to use the camera on your S23 Plus or Ultra and have noticed that it keeps crashing, you may be worried, frustrated, and unsure of what to do next.
One of the most common issues on cell phones is that the camera crashes. While this likely does not help you feel any better, at least you know you are not alone.
There are several reasons why your camera app may be crashing and most of the issues are related to the software, so it is generally considered to be an easy fix that you can do right at home. However, if your camera does not respond to the software fixes, then it could be an issue with the system itself.
Below, we will review some of the steps you can take to correct camera issues with your Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus or Ultra.
Perform a Forced Restart
One of the first solutions you want to try is a force restart. Why? It is the simplest, easiest, and requires less involvement. You will find that a force restart works most of the time.
Force restarting your device will cause all apps that are running in the background to shut down and refresh your device’s memory.
To perform a forced restart, you should follow these steps:
-
Close any open or recent apps that are currently running on your device
-
Press down the power and volume button at the same time and hold them down until your device turns off and restarts itself
-
When you see the Samsung logo appear on the screen, release both buttons
-
Allow the phone to reboot and then attempt to use the camera again
Reset the Camera
If the data and/or cache of the camera is corrupt, it will cause functionality issues and cause the camera to crash. If the above solution does not work, this would be your next go-to.
To reset the camera, follow these steps:
-
Pull down the app bar to expose it
-
Click on the camera and hold it until you see an options menu pop up
-
Click on app info
-
Select storage
-
Click on clear cache
-
Confirm your choice to clear the data
