iPhone 13 mini camera freezes

Hey!


I'm running iOS 16.1.1 and have been noticing this issue since upgrading to 16.1. Whenever I use the back-facing camera in the camera app, it will freeze up and I won't be able to use it. Sometimes, the camera doesn't load and it is just simply black. This only happens in the camera app, and when I use an app like Snapchat, the back-facing camera works fine. This is very annoying because I'd like to take advantage of the copy text in photos feature, but can't due to my phone not being able to take pictures. When I say freezing, it will be working for a few seconds, but then it goes all blurry on the image and I can't click any buttons, forcing me to restart it.


Please let me know if you have any ideas!
