My screen goes black when I try to reverse my camera to "selfie" mode. This happens in any app that allows me to reverse the camera!

Are you using a screen protector and/or a case that can interfere with the front camera of your iP8+?

Please check.


If you get no help from the instructions correctly suggested by leroydouglas, have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP: Apple – Location Selector
