Google’s Pixel 6 Pro users are still grappling with persistent camera issues post the latest Android 16 update. Despite hopes pinned on the August update to resolve these woes, the camera continues to crash during video recording sessions. This concerning glitch has been haunting users since the debut of the Android 16 beta about six months back.
Reports from Android Headlines reveal that attempting to switch lenses while capturing 4K video at 30fps triggers an alarming warning on the Pixel 6 Pro. The message, “A problem occurred, part of the video may not have been saved,” precedes a crash, leaving users frustrated. What exacerbates the situation is Google’s silence on acknowledging this troubling camera malfunction.
Various attempted fixes, from clearing the camera app’s cache to resorting to a full phone reset, have proven futile. With the issue transcending the Pixel 6 Pro’s warranty period, users are left in a lurch unable to attribute it to a hardware snag. The lack of a concrete resolution from Google compounds the users’ woes, leaving them clamoring for a stable camera app experience.
In a recent development, Google did roll out a security update for Android 16, sealing a critical vulnerability that could enable remote access to Pixel phones. This patch also addresses glitches like the non-responsive dark theme and back command. However, the much-anticipated Material 3 Expressive redesign, a hallmark of Android 16, is still awaited and is slated to align with the Pixel 10 series release later this month.
While the upcoming enhancements are promising, Pixel 6 Pro users predominantly seek a reliable camera app that doesn’t crash intermittently. The editorial team at DigitalDigest.net empathizes with the frustration faced by users and looks forward to Google promptly addressing and rectifying these persistent camera woes.
