When taking a photo with the normal camera app, it comes out empty/broken, but after taking another picture with a different camera app, the pictures are restored. (it’s probably best explained with a video, so I made a screen recording, but I can’t upload it here) The pictures will also randomly f…

hello and welcome to the community. how do you open your camera app? the shortcut from the lock screen, using double press on the power button or from the app with the screen unlocked? what apps are you using and which one is default?

I’m having this problem. Most of the time my photos are not saved. Yes, I’ve noticed it does not tend to happen if the phone is not locked. I’ve also had a hunch I need to wait for a while, and also then the file will (???maybe???) save properly. But I have no idea how long I have to wait, and what…
