Few things are more frustrating than opening your camera to take a photo, only for it to freeze or close unexpectedly. If your Galaxy S25 FE camera keeps crashing, it could be due to a temporary glitch, corrupted app data, or outdated software. Luckily, there are several ways to fix it quickly.
Why Your Galaxy S25 FE Camera Keeps Crashing
- Temporary software or system glitch.
- Outdated Camera app or One UI version.
- Corrupted cache or app data.
- Low storage space or background processes using too much memory.
- Third-party app conflict or permissions issue.
Restart Your Phone.
Restarting the phone clears temporary memory and ends background apps that might interfere with the camera. It is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to fix random crashes.
Press and hold the Side key and Volume Down key together until the Power menu appears. Tap Restart, and then confirm your choice. Once the phone powers back on, try opening the Camera app again.
Clear the Camera App Cache and Data.
When cache files get corrupted, the app can misbehave or crash right after opening. Clearing them helps refresh the Camera app without deleting photos.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Tap Camera, and then tap Storage.
- Tap Clear cache, and then tap Clear data.
- Open the Camera app again to check if it works normally.
Check for Software Updates.
Camera crashes may happen if the system software or app is outdated. Updates often include bug fixes that can resolve these issues.
- Open Settings, and then tap Software update.
- Tap Download and install, and then follow the prompts if an update is available.
Free Up Storage Space.
If your storage is nearly full, the Camera app might struggle to save new photos or videos, leading to crashes. Deleting unnecessary files can free up memory for smoother operation.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery and device care.
- Tap Storage, and then remove unused apps, screenshots, or videos you no longer need.
Boot into Safe Mode.
A third-party app may be causing the problem. Safe Mode temporarily disables all non-system apps so you can identify if one of them is to blame.
- Press and hold the Side key until the Power menu appears.
- Touch and hold Power off, and then tap Safe mode.
If the camera works fine in Safe Mode, uninstall recently installed apps one by one until the issue disappears.
Reset App Preferences.
If you’ve disabled essential system apps or permissions by mistake, resetting app preferences can restore default configurations without erasing data.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Tap the three dots at the top right, and then tap Reset app preferences.
- Confirm when prompted.
If your Galaxy S25 FE camera still crashes after all these steps, it may require a deeper software reset or inspection by Samsung Support. But most of the time, clearing cache, updating software, or rebooting resolves the issue instantly.
FAQs
Why does my Galaxy S25 FE camera close immediately after opening?
It usually happens because of corrupted cache or conflicting apps. Clearing the Camera app’s cache and data often solves the issue.
Can low storage affect the camera performance?
Yes. When your phone’s internal memory is nearly full, the Camera app may fail to process images or videos properly.
Will clearing camera data delete my photos?
No. It only resets the Camera app’s settings and removes temporary files. Your saved pictures and videos in the Gallery remain safe.
