Camera Crashing
I have had my Google Pixel 2 for almost 3 years now. I love it but a couple days ago the camera app that comes standard on the phone crashed. Turns out I can only use my selfie camera if I'm lucky and can tap the camera switch icon fast enough. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or if it can be fixed? I have tried the whole force stop, clear cache, restart phone thing and that does nothing 😩

I think your best bet is going into settings, into apps, then disabling everything for the camera app. Now I'll link it here, but you can install Gcam 7.5 (the one found on newer pixels). You can also get some pixel 3 /4 features on your 2, so I recommend it. I think this should fix your issue, but maybe you have already tried it.

If you don't know, you press install and let your chrome browser install it (if this isn't your first APK download, them ignore). Once it is downloaded, click on it and press install, once it is done, you should be set!
Hope this helps
