Android Central Question

Ive had my S8+ since July now, and it has worked perfectly fine for me until this last week. First it was snapchat that had the problem that when I would go the the camera feature, it would say "unable to open camera". A day or two later I can no longer even open snapchat, it instantly crashes every time. Now my regular camera app won' t even open, it just fails every time and crashes instantly. Instagram crashes when i try to access the camera through that. The only app i can access the camera through is facebook messenger. I have never dropped my phone, it is in perfect condition, I have tried wiping the cashes, reinstalling apps, nothing has worked. PLEASE HELP

Have you tried SafeMode? It's possible there's an App running in the background that's taken over the camera? I would try Safemode, see if the camera works without issue, if so it's most likely software. If it still doesn't work in Safemode. Probably a hardware issue
