My galaxy s7 Camara stopped working after the update. I keep getting an error message that the camera failed. I tried to clear cache and clear data and it is still not working.

Did you reboot your phone in Safe mode to see if the camera works?

I rebooted in safe mode and the camera still did not work.

We want this feature to work for you. Let's make sure that this isn't a memory capacity issue. Try deleting all unwanted applications, media, pictures and videos on your phone. Power your device off/on and try to access the camera feature on your phone again.

I had the same issue. None of the fixes worked (safe mode, clearing caches in Gallery and Camera app, default reset, factory reset, etc). Finally, I did another factory reset then let the battery drain to 0%. After I charged up the phone and powered it on, the camera worked again. I hope this helps!
