Make sure to remove any app running in the background that uses your camera or has access to it. Only one app at a time can have access to the camera, so having other apps running can make it even harder to open the camera app. Remove all background running apps and clear all data of the camera app. Force stop the camera app from background running services, update the app, or try other third-party camera apps. If you have any task killers, battery savers, or system optimization apps (for example, <span class=\"highlight\">Greenify, Battery Doctor, or CCleaner<\/span>), disable or uninstall them temporarily.

Make sure to remove any app running in the background that uses your camera or has access to it. Only one app at a time can have access to the camera, so having other apps running can make it even harder to open the camera app. Remove all background running apps and clear all data of the camera app. Force stop the camera app from background running services, update the app, or try other third-party camera apps. If you have any task killers, battery savers, or system optimization apps (for example, <span class=\"highlight\">Greenify, Battery Doctor, or CCleaner<\/span>), disable or uninstall them temporarily.
