The iOS 18.2 update brought Apple’s promised AI-based updates, but according to a forum on Reddit, the update could be giving some users issues with the iPhone camera. Inside the thread, several users are reporting an unresponsive camera, noting that they have to close and restart the app multiple times before getting the camera to work.
In a forum for the iPhone 16 Pro, the original poster CryptographerWeary64 said that after updating to iOS 18.2, the camera “refuses to work sometimes.” The user noted that the issue happens both inside the native camera app as well as Snapchat. The screen is black after opening the camera, the user says, and the app needs to be restarted a few times before it works properly.
