Ever since my phone went through the latest update, when I try to take portrait photos, I get a green screen. Anyone else? Any tips on fixing this?

If you did a search first, you'd see a few folks with same issue

Though many not seeing it (hubby and I don't see issue)

For some folks this works:
Open Camera app, then gear Settings icon upper left
Scroll down and tap Reset

Next, go to phone's Settings app, scroll down and tap on Apps
Scroll down to Camera and tap
Tap Force Stop lower right
Then tap Storage, Clear Cache and then Clear Data

Dismiss Settings
Open Camera app and check

Just tried that, still just a green screen. Hopefully this December update comes quick and fixes it.

I am so disappointed with my S21 5G. There are so many glitches. Camera gets green in the portrait mode, GPS loses signal all the time and Samsung pay doesn't work properly. Does anyone suffer the same problems?

GPS doesn't work properly with power saving mode on. Hope that explains that bit.

As for Samsung Pay and Portrait mode, I don't have these issues.

I will agree to buggy software. One UI 3.0 and onwards has introduced a plethora of UI, performance, and application issues.

I have the s21 base model and whenever I open portrait mode the screen turns green but the rest of the modes and cameras work. The only way it works is if I reset phone but it only works for a short time then it glitches out again.

Anybody knows why portrait mode on galaxy s21 ultra shows a green screen and is very slow to focus and take a picture? Is this a glitch? Is there a solution to it?
