UK users frequently report camera blur and occasional app crashes after installing system updates on iPhones and Samsung devices, especially when connected to EE, Vodafone, or O2 networks in cities like London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Leeds. During testing with an iPhone 15 on EE in London, I noticed a brief blur in low-light indoor photos immediately after a minor iOS update. Similarly, a Galaxy S23 on Vodafone in Manchester experienced sporadic camera freezes following a One UI update. These issues often arise due to background system optimisation, recalibration of the Image Signal Processor (ISP), and temporary conflicts between updated camera software and running apps.
Launching the camera right after installing an update can trigger blurred images or crashes because the system is still performing background tasks and optimising processes.
Uploading photos, streaming content, or running multiple apps simultaneously can increase CPU and memory load, worsening blur and crashes.
Failing to restart the device after an update can prevent proper allocation of resources, causing slow shutter or unexpected app behaviour.
Hold Power → Restart. This clears temporary memory issues and allows camera processes to stabilise post-update.
Swipe up to close unused apps. Reducing CPU load helps the camera ISP perform optimally, minimising blur and preventing crashes.
iPhone: Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset All Settings
Samsung: Camera App → Settings → Reset Settings. This resolves misconfigurations caused by updates.
Ensure all apps, especially camera-related or social media apps, are updated to avoid conflicts with the new system software.
Leave the device charging overnight to complete background optimisations. iOS and One UI often perform maintenance tasks during this time, improving camera stability.
Indoor low-light conditions can worsen blur. Using well-lit areas and resting the phone on a stable surface or tripod helps reduce motion-induced blur.
Across London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Leeds, iPhone and Samsung users on EE, Vodafone, and O2 noticed blurred images and occasional camera crashes immediately after updates. Most improvements were observed after restarting the device, closing background apps, and allowing overnight optimisation. Users also reported that stabilising the device and improving lighting conditions significantly reduced blur.
Camera blur and crashes after system updates on UK networks are common but generally temporary issues. Users can restore smooth, responsive camera performance by restarting the device, closing background apps, resetting camera settings, updating apps, and allowing overnight optimisation. AvNexo users in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Leeds can follow these tested UK-specific strategies to ensure reliable camera performance after iOS or One UI updates.
