Hello. I have had the M5 for around two months now and almost everytime I use snapchat, whether the actual camera is on, viewing a snap or viewing the list of sent/received snaps, the app freezes and crashes.
I then get the error message about the camera unable to open, and any app, including the official camera app, that uses the phones camera, is unable to open the camera.
I have....
Updated snapchat
Cleared cache
Restarted phone
Uninstalled/re installed snapchat
The same issues still, every time.
Any other possible fixes???

I'm having the same problem. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the official camera app to work again? I don't mind sacrificing Snapchat, I just want my cameras back!
I had problems with snapchat until I updated to 5.1. Snapchat works fine for the most part but some filters/stickers don't work properly.
To get the official camera app to work, had to restart the phone (which I have to do to get all camera apps working)
My phone hasn't gotten any updates, still Android 5.0, seems my carrier isn't getting the update so I can't tell if that can work or not

Getting a weird one. When I am video'ing, and I try to zoom in, the camera then crashes with "Unfortunately, the camera has stopped"
I have tried with Google Camera, which I have installed, and the zoom seems to work fine, but I would rather use the LG G3 camera app
The zoom works fine when not recording, and when taking stills, but only crashes when actually recording
Edit :
Have done a full factory reset, and have just let the phone update what it needs from the Play store (google services etc), have not installed any 3rd party apps ... and still having the same problem
Initially the zoom worked, but rebooted the phone and now the camera stops again
If I zoom in to say 5x and then start teh video, it records, but as soon as I try and zoom in or out, it crashes
The phone is stock, LG-D855 and running V10h-EUR-XX

I have tried a full factory reset, and even waited till the next OTA was released (v10i), hoping that a new ROM would fix this, but still having the same problem
Yesterday, when showing someone the issue, the zoom was working ... which confused me, but then later on during the day, had to reboot the phone. Went to show my partner last night that it was working, and it was crashing again. This morning tried to zoom, and yep, it seems to be working today
This has really got me stumped. If it was hardware, you would expect it all the time, and for it to fail on other 3rd party apps. I like the stock app, but cannot use it as my default in case I have the zoom issue, and therefore lose what I am videoing
Anybody have any ideas on this?

Has nobody else had this issue, or any ideas how to resolve?
Is just my phone? Since 8.1 update, camera becomes really clunky and laggy, when I take a picture, if I go to the preview the app becomes really slow and almost useless, I have to directly open Google Photos cuz trying to watch a picture from the camera app is a mess.
It happens to the stock camera, to the NX version too, the only app that does not present the problem is the "OnePlus Camera"
I tried wiping cache partition, wiping cache and data from camera app, uninstalling updates, updating the camera again and nothing solves the problem...

Happens to my friends n5x also.
for me too
Install camera nx 7.2 and disable stock camera
Same here. Flash triggers before the shot, resulting in a black screen, and zoom is erratic.
No issue when reverting to 8.0 so that's software related for sure.
After this software update, whatsapp lags when I try to send a photo, it reopens the camera where I have to send the photo again. And sometimes when replying to a status, whatsapp automatically closes but the reply is sent normally. Did anyone notice that?
Nope, try uninstalling / reinstalling WhatsApp
WhatsApp is buggy anyway, it won't let me switch from front to rear cam without crashing the camera first
Mine works fine. I have multiple group chats going and use it multiple times day, everyday.
No issues except for the camera switching but mine is negligible and not an issue since it just lags for a second.
To start, I'm using stock ROM patched with Magisk. Root is fully working and all that jazz. This is quite a peculiar issue, I don't even know where to start. My A50 (W/Canada) is not able to use the front facing camera to take photos in any app other than the stock camera app. This is important to me as I use Snapchat and Instagram frequently. However, I am only unable to take photos with the front facing camera, videos still work perfectly fine, and the preview of the front facing camera also works perfectly fine. No issues with back camera, everything is fine there. I've tried launching Magisk as core only, and undone all my debloater settings. Every thread I see about camera issues said it's either a hardware issue (which I doubt is the case for me as the camera worked fine before root and still takes videos) or a software/kernel issue in which I should revert to stock. I would really prefer to find a solid solution to this rather than revert to stock, so I've come here hoping maybe somebody can possibly shed some light on something I may have missed out of frustration. The only thing I could think would possibly have an effect was the Magisk Samsung 4k60 Camera module which I uninstalled immediately after as it was crashing the camera app when I opened it. Could it have changed a file permanently?
To recap:
Front facing camera works perfectly as intended in stock camera app.
In any other app that uses Camera (including 3rd party camera HedgeCam) I am able to take videos but not photos.
Front facing camera preview always works fine.
Tried Magisk core only mode and reinstalled all debloated apps.
Snapchat gives error (when taking front facing photo) "Snap capture failed. Please try again." all other apps just freeze on (what would be) the photo/photo preview until I exit or switch out of the app then back in.
Any help is much appreciated, and I can share more information or logs if they'd help.
