Also, it is extremely important for the Samsung Galaxy S8’s operating system to be up to date. Even minor updates can bring along fixes and solutions for bugs and other issues. In order to make sure that your system is up to date, you will need to go to the Settings menu, and then tap About phone. Then, all you need to do is check for new software updates and install them in case there are any available.
Clearing application caches and application data could also help make your Samsung Galaxy S8’s camera perform better. Clearing them is extremely easy. All you need to do is go to the Settings menu, then go to Apps and Application manager. Make sure you clear the cache and data for all apps. You can also try to clear the phone’s cache.
