Camera app continuously crashing

[Petros DIMITRIOU]

Hello people.

I cannot seem to convince my camera app to operate. As soon as I touch the icon, it produces a window stating that unfortunately the Camera has stopped. Tried to switch off and on the phone several times, but to no avail.
My Nexus 5 runs on 5.1.1. Any ideas anyone?

Hi have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the camera from Settings, Apps, All?

This was a bug at 5.1 but I thought in 5.1.1 it was fixed. Maybe of clearing the cashe doesn't work a factory reset probably will solve the bug

Thanks for your input gals and guys.
I have taken the path of least resistance and uninstalled all the camera app updates.
As soon as this was done, the app decided to function !! Properly !!
I will keep you posted on any and all hickups on this issue.
I really love google. They expect us to be the testbed of their OS. And they expect us to enjoy it.
And the funny bit is that they are spot on in both respects !!
