Following the upgrade on Saturday my camera app now constantly crashes. It appears the issue may be with the front camera sensor, but either way I can no longer use the camera app.Any solutions gratefully accepted!

Thanks. This has helped - I can now use the rear camera and open and close the app, as long as I dont switch to the front camera. As soon as I switch to the front camera it crashes again and I have to clear all the data again before it will reopen. It's just as well I dont take many selfies!

As this problem only occurred after an update Me100 have you tried clearing the cache partition as this can eliminate any update borne bugs and glitches?. I am not sure what phone you have but if you YouTube how to clear the cache partition your phone you can follow the guidelines therein. If you have not done this before then best take it slowly as it is a serious step but a very effective one on occasions. Good luck to you Me100. 👍👍
