December update camera issues


After updating my camera is not working anymore! Anyone experiencing similar issues?

Welcome to the community forum.

Works for me.

At which point does the App hang? Right when starting, or when taking a picture?
Have you tried turning off the phone (no reboot, really turning it off) and turning it on again?

Apparently the same problem:

Just to assure everyone: “Clearing app data” does not mean deleting photos. Instead do this: Settings > Apps > Camera > Storage > Clear Storage

P.S.: I tested it, “Clear Storage” will not delete your photos. :slight_smile:

I also just found this and clearing storage fixes it

Thanks, that worked :slight_smile:

I had the same problem after updating my FP3 to Dec. update today …

Thanks for your advice!
After clearing my app data settings, the camera finally is working again!

Hallo zusammen
Auch ich kann die Kamera seit dem Update, das ich heute installiert habe, nicht mehr benutzen. Einstellungen -> Apps & Benachrichtigungen -> Camera -> Speicher -> Cache leeren klappt bei mir aber nicht, da der Cache nicht geleert werden kann. Wenn man woanders hinklickt, ist der Cache wieder voll.
Was kann ich machen?
Danke und viele GrĂĽsse

Is german ok or only in English?
Settings > Apps > Camera > Storage > Clear Cache doesn’t work, because it’s not possible to clear the Cache.
What else I can do?

Hast Du schon “Speicherinhalt löschen” gedrückt? “Cache leeren” war nur meine erste Vermutung, ich werd’s jetzt in meinem Post auch anpassen.

Same probpem. Tried clearing camera app storage (and rebooting phone), but still won’t open camera. Any suggestions?

Solved: had not understood that I needed to clear camera storage data and not just camera cache
