i have tried force restarting. My phone is relatively new, have plenty of storage left. It was perfectly fine before in ios 26 its gotta be an issue with the new Software.
not everyone checks the lens transition, the software update promised smoother lens transition, hence why I updated, and also apple intelligence. But after updating I am dissapointed. I tried all those tips you said, but I am not putting back my phone to factory settings such as hassle to do so. Please look into this issue. I would not be complaining if its not a real issue.
