Part 2. What to Do When Your iPhone Camera Freezes?

Most of the time, the issues get fixed after a non-beta version release; you have to wait until then. But we are not here to wait until another iOS gets released from Apple. We need to act quickly and solve the persisting issue. Considering the fact, we have a couple of methods to fix the iPhone camera freeze issue.

• Method 1. Close The Camera App And Run It Again

• Method 3. Free up RAM on Your iPhone
• Method 4. Clear iPhone Cache to Help It Run Normally
• Method 5. Repair iPhone Stuck on Camera with Tenorshare Reiboot (iOS 17 supported)

Method 1. Close The Camera App and Run It Again

• Go to your home screen, and from the middle of the screen at the bottom, swipe up.
• Hold your finger for a second until you see application cards on the screen like in the image below.

• Swipe the available cards left and right to find the Camera app.

  

• Now, tap on the Camera card and swipe it up to force close.

• Go back and open a Camera.

Method 2. Force Restart iPhone/iPad When iPhone Camera Not Working

iPhone 8, iPhone 10, and iPhone 11 series:

• Press the Volume up button and quickly release it.
• Also, press the Volume down button and quickly release it.
• Immediately, press the Power button and hold until the iPhone restarts.

iPhone 7 series and iPod touch (7th Gen):

• Press and hold still the Volume Down and the power button (located at side or top).
• Keep holding these buttons until you see the Apple logo and release the buttons.

Method 3. Free up RAM on Your iPhone

When applications have used all possible RAM on your iPhone, such issues can be seen when you launch the additional applications. This might be the absolute case with the camera freezing issue we have been discussing. Thus, let’s dive into the procedure to free up RAM on your iPhone.

• Press and hold still the power button on your iPhone.
• Now, as you see the slider on the screen, let go of the power button.
• Toggle the slider to the right to turn off your device.

• After it’s completely turned off, power it back again using the power button. This should free up RAM usage on your iPhone.

  

Method 4. Clear iPhone Cache to Help It Run Normally

Cache in your iPhone could have used RAM in a hefty amount; clearing application cache can help you run a camera normally. Here is how to clear the iPhone cache.

• Go to "Settings > General > find “storage and cloud” and tap on it.
• Now, tap on “Manage Storage.”
• Click on any application available on the list of ‘’Documents and Data,” now tap on the “Delete” tab.

• Also, tap on the “Edit” icon and hit “Delete.” This should delete cache in applications, ultimately solving the camera issue.
