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?

Known issue for some folks.

Do a search here to check what others are doing. For very few people a Camera Settings > Reset fixes it , but for others, doesn't work

Anytime I try to use portrait mode (with the outside-facing cameras specifically), I'm shown the first image the sensor sees, then the screen turns green.

I'm using the Galaxy S21 Ultra running the stable One UI 4.0/Android 12. I took a video recording of it but have nowhere to post it.

Many folks are seeing this issue, but many not (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

... Samsung has put a hold on UI 4 ... some of the issue is with base Android 12, so Samsung is waiting on Google for fixes

They should know better. They had a beta roll out, they got feedback from their customers. No fixes were made after beta. Then they rolled it out to everyone. I can't wait to return my phone.

I have an S21 Ultra that's less than a year old. Noticed today when trying to use portrait mode the screen turns bright green and it's not possible to take a photo. I saw others have reported or online, but it doesn't seem like it's being fixed in an update yet. Please let me know if you've found a way to fix it. Thanks!

Heard there were problems with S21 line which is why I kept Mt S20+ and heard Ultras had severe lag issues and it lost the SD Card Slot!!!! Feel Space Zoom is a fad!! Looking at getting Note22

I've read where resetting the Camera app helps, but prob not for all
