Camera Roll crash is one of the most common problems faced by iPhone users. Either accidentally or due to technical glitches, an iPhone’s Camera Roll photos or videos may not be accessible to you. Usually, you tend to freely store thousands of photos and videos in iPhone Camera Roll, without even a hint that such a sudden photo loss situation can strike. Moreover, if you have not enabled iCloud or iTunes backup feature, then you are in complete jinx situation of photos and videos loss.

As mentioned above, restoring your iPhone to factory settings is the only solution to fix your Camera Roll crash. Post-factory resettings, your Camera Roll will work as fresh and is ready to save new photos and videos.

Sign in to iCloud or iTunes backup through your Apple ID on another iOS device. Select and save the desired Camera Roll photos and videos to the new device from the list of available backups in iCloud/iTunes.
