How to fix the Camera issue on OnePlus 7/7 Pro

Since the launch of the OnePlus 7/ 7 pro in May, the smartphone has earned itself some great praises both online and locally.

In this guide, we will look at some of the most common and frustrating camera issues that have been reported in various online forums and how to fix these issues yourself.

Issue 1: Unfortunately camera has stopped working

This is a common issue with most smartphones including the OnePlus 7/7 Pro. It occurs mostly after continuous use of the camera. Luckily, there are a number of fixes that can resolve this issue.

Fix 1: Restart your phone

As simple as it sounds, restarting your device can resolve the issue of the camera not working. Restarting helps restore your camera into default settings thus helping clear the error that might be brought about by change of settings.

Fix 2: Clear camera cache and data

If restarting your camera doesn’t work, try clearing the camera cache and data. A corrupted app cache can cause unexpected app collapses and slow loading of apps. To ensure that the camera app functionality and performance is restored use the following steps to clear the camera cache on your OnePlus 7/7 Pro.

• Go to Settings>>>Apps & Notifications>>>Tap on Camera app
• Select Storage then tap on Clear Cache
• Now restart your phone and see if the problem still persists.

Fix 3: Reboot the device in safe mode

Sometimes you may be running some bad apps in your device which can hinder the normal operation of your camera. If you suspect that some recently installed third-party apps are obstructing your cameras functionality, the best way is to test your camera in safe mode. This will stop them from running.

Use the following steps to reboot your device in safe mode.

• Press and hold the power button until the Power Off menu appears.
• Once it appears, hold the Power Off icon
• A pop up will appear asking you to Reboot in safe mode. Tap OK to restart the device in safe mode.
• You’ll see Safe Mode at the bottom left corner of your phones screen. This means that your phone is now running in safe mode.
• Test your camera to see if the problem persists. If it’s gone, restart your phone again in “normal mode” and uninstall any third party apps installed recently.

Issue 2: Picture quality, HDR, Auto-focus, Selfie-camera popping up on its own, and many more

Sometimes your OnePlus 7/7 pro camera issue may be due to a number of issues that may include blurry pictures, slow auto focus, and the pop-up camera popping up on its own.

While this issues have been reported by a number of users, the good thing is that the manufacturer has acknowledged them and has issued a number of updates that will help with the problems. The most recent one with camera updates is the OxygenOS 10.
