Last 3 days my camera won't open using any social app. But will open just camera app don't hard reset and uninstall any new apps but still won't go
 
Try also clearing the app cache/storage for the Camera app in Settings>Apps, then Force Stop it, and try again.

Have done that before but I noticed the problem started when snapchat Ai thing was added
Weird because you mentioned all social media having this issue, try going to settings>apps>3 dots upper right corner tap reset apps preference
 
Update still cant open cam on social media, but went for a car ride n when plugging the car charger I get a message on lock screen about can't open camera even though I'm not touching the phone. But I can't find what app wants to open the camera
 
You can check the Permission Manager in the system settings to see what apps have Camera permission. Try removing permission for any app that really doesn't need it.

Checked only apps are snapchat Instragram Facebook n messages, phone and I reset everything n still

I think it's the phone since it's been replaced a couple of weeks ago
 
Try uninstalling Snapchat, then see if your other social media apps can access the camera successfully.
