Camera app loses draft when multitasking

From within the Camera app, if you choose to share a photo using email, begin writing your message, switch to another app (Safari, for instance), then switch back to Camera, you're presented with the camera interface and your draft is gone. You are not given the option to save your draft unless you press the cancel button before switching out of the Camera app.
This does not occur in the Photos app. If you choose to share a photo using email from the Photos app, switch out, and switch back, you're brought right back to where you were and can freely multitask without losing your draft message.
Steps to reproduce:
Launch the Camera app
Take a photo
View the photo by clicking the thumbnail in the bottom left
Click the share button
Select Mail
Type a subject
Press the home button twice and switch to an app besides camera
Press the home button twice and switch back to Camera
Result:
Camera interface to take a new photo is displayed
Expected:
Draft message is displayed
Expected (alternate):
Camera interface to take a new photo is displayed
Draft message is stored in Drafts folder
Workaround:
Before switching to another app, press Cancel, then select Save Draft
Instead of switching back to Camera, switch to Mail and find the message in your Drafts folder
From the iOS Human Interface Guidelines:
People expect to have ample opportunity to cancel an operation before it begins, and they expect to get a chance to confirm their intention to perform a potentially destructive action. Finally, people expect to be able to gracefully stop an operation that’s underway.
Multitasking should not be a destructive action.
If this is behaving as designed, it's not insanely great, it's insanely unintuitive.

Thanks so much I restored my ipod now it works MUCH better then before and no wierd camera app.

  • Camera app shuts down when uploading to youtube

    I have the latest update of the camera app and iOS7 on my iPad 2.  Whenever I try to upload video that I have recorded to youtube the app crashes.  This is a somewhat recent event, only coming up in the last month or so.  I used to be able to upload videos without issue.  I thought perhaps it was an issue with a particular video taken, but it is happening on another now and I can't figure out why.

    Simple things first. Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • Why is the Camera app so slow when switching modes?

    When I switch modes between still-photo and video (or back) in the Camera application, there is a 2-3 second pause while the "iris" appears and disappears. Ok, that's not very long, but when you are in a rush to capture "that moment" it can be all the difference between "great" and "rats!".
    I get that an app can take a few seconds to load, but switching camera modes should be nearly instantaneous, shouldnt it? Do other people see the same delay, or is it just me? Are there any known tweaks to improve this delay?
    On an iPhone 4 with latest iOS.

    I don't know why Apple doesn't fix this problem or even acknowledge it. I have had this problem since 1.1.2. Upgrading through 1.1.3, 1.1.4 and on the 2.1 has not helped. My SMS loading time varies between 3 and 10 seconds. I maintain all my SMS messages deleted (which I should not have to do). Due to lack of support from Apple I purchased a Nokia phone for my son. At least basic phone features work like they should.

  • Nokia Pro Camera App Problems

    I am on EE and finally got the Pro Cam App last night when I got the Amber Update for my Lumia 920. I have two problems with it:
    1) Everytime I take a picture, the image I've taken is displayed on the screen and doesn't go away, I have to return to the camera. This is quite a annoying if I'm taking a series of images.
    2) This is a real deal breaker - everytime I take a picture it looks great then seconds later a yellowish hue is applied and the whole image is softened. It takes great vibrant pictures and then ruins them with some awful image processing after the picture has been taken! Is this happening to everyone else?

    As 808PV no longer manufactured and Symbian in "maintenance mode" it ain't going to happen.
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • 8.2 update - unable to upload photos from Camera app

    I downloaded the 8.2 update, and now I can't seem to upload photos from the Camera app to Facebook when I check-in. It only brings up my videos from the Camera app, not the photos. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    You're welcome.
    It is needed by the FaceBook app in order to upload photos with the app. You need it on for the apps that require location services in order to use the app or to use the location services function included with the app. You don't necessarily need it on for every app - that is up to you.
    The arrow in the menu bar means location services is being actively used by an app.
    The arrow next to an app at Settings > Location Services means the app has requested your location within the last 24 hours.

  • When opening camera app freezes can't take pictures

    when I open the photo booth or camera app it just freezes nothing happens I have done all the updates from apple but still is doing it
    any ideas ?

    Try closing the two apps completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Photo Booth or Camera apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photo Booth and Camera apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Hello guys i face a problem when i upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1  .when i upgrade i don' t found the camera app from the built in apps.when i try to install from the app store i don't  found the correct camera app .please help me .

    It's a built-in app, so it can't be deleted nor downloaded from the store. If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My camera will not work when I open the app the screen is blank

    When I turn on the camera app the screen is blank, any suggestions

    Try closing the Camera app completely and see if the camera works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • Before 8.3 update when I saved photos they were added to my camera roll. Then I could access the photo I wanted from any app. Now when I SAVE a photo it is not added to the camera roll at all. iCloud photo is on. AND my Photo Stream is GONE entirely.

    Hi all.  Since updating my iphone 6 a couple days ago, I have discovered awful glitches in photos. When I save photos they do not get added to my camera roll. My Camera Roll and Photo Stream used to match.  I would take a photo on the camera and I would see it on my photo stream.  Yesterday, I added an edited photo to my camera roll by saving it (I thought).  But it was not there.  In the past, if I wanted a photo to post in any app, from Twitter to Facebook to Yelp, in order to retrieve it easily (if I had a lot of photos on my phone) I would sometimes text it to myself and then save it. It would be added to my camera roll. Then, when any app asked me to upload a photo, I could find it right at the beginning of my camera roll photos.  Now, when I save a photo it does not appear on my camera roll.  I discovered this yesterday when posting a Yelp review.  I found the photo I wanted to use on my camera roll and it was way back at the beginning of the camera roll.  I edited the photo.  I saved it. It did not get added to my camera roll.  So then I looked for the photo on the camera roll where I had originally found it way back at the beginning.  The edited version of the photo was gone.  Could not find my photo to upload to Yelp.  Then I discovered it was the same with every other app on the phone.
    PHOTO STREAM DISAPPEARED!   This was my main problem and primary question until I tried to resolve the issue. I saw a message on my phone that said (I thought) that I needed to connect my phone to my laptop to restore icloud backups.   So I manually connected my phone to my Mac Pro Laptop (2011)  and backed up my photos.  I made sure iCloud was turned on for photos.  I have it set to Download and Keep Originals.  It is also set to Upload to My Photo Stream. And iCloud sharing is turned on.
    WHEN I connected my phone to my computer I got a message on my phone about setting it up for personal hotspot and it would not complete the update unless I replied.  At first i did set it up, but it seemed to be an issue, so I simply let my phone and computer use my home wifi network.  I don't need the personal hotspot, but it seemed to affect the photo issue further.
    Now where I used to see Photo Stream and Camera Roll, it simply says All Photos.  I am extremely confused.  This is a mess.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated! 

    I restored it twice, once from icloud backup and then from my computer back up. I just restored again and set it up as a new iphone and now my photos are saving again. I was then able to sync apps and music from my itunes to my phone... So happy you wouldn't believe!!

  • When I open my camera app, the camera doesn't open. I got told to restore my iPhone and I have done but it still doesn't work? What should I do?

    When I open my camera app it doesn't seem to open the actual camera. I went into an apple store and got told to restore it so I have done but it still doesn't open. What should I so about it?

    When you restored, did you restore as a "new" device or from backup? If you restored as new, and still have the same issue, you most likely have a hardware problem. Go back to the Apple store to confirm.

    My New ipad3, when i click onthe camera app, the front camera works but the other camera only shows a black screen ! Is there something wrong with my iPad ?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • My new iphone 4 does not have any sound when recording a video with the camera app.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I just got a new white iphone 4.  When I try to take a video using the camera app, there is only a muffled sound.  I never had this problem with my old iphone.  I tried to restore it and that didn't help.  I checked over all of the settings.  Does anyone know how to fix this??  Thanks for any help you can offer!

    There is a good possibility that your trimming of the SIM card could have damaged it some way. If the SIM was working in the old phone, then you cut it and the first new phone didn't work and now this phone doesn't work, it leads me to believe it has to do with the SIM card or the account. You are sure there is no problem with the account. Did you check with the provider when you got the iPhone 4 to make sure there was no problem with the account when you could not send or receive SMS? Why can't you just get a micro-sim? The iPhone should have come with one when you purchased it.The iPhone 4 is designed for a micro-sim. I don't believe this is a hardware problem unless the phone has been hacked or modified in some manner.
