WhatsApp camera problems?

[Jezbud]

Facing numerous camera issues since joining the beta.

First my camera often just shows a black screen on whatsapp. Camera controls show but nothing else.

I then load the camera app normally and then goes back to whatsapp. Working now. Camera loads.

I then use the camera on whatsapp and It seems slow and keep locking up on the preview.

My camera also keeps making a clicking noise

This sounds like a camera initialization and stability issue affecting both WhatsApp and the system camera, which can sometimes happen on beta software.

Please try:

• restarting the phone
• clearing cache for WhatsApp and the Camera app
• checking for app and system updates

If the issue continues, please report it via Samsung Members so it can be investigated further.

Snapchat does it constantly freezing and then blank and when it work it's slow and buggy and you cant zoom in as it freezes and crashes the app
