I updated my iOS 13 last night and now the camera isn’t working

I updated my iOS 13 last night and when I woke up this morning it was updated but my camera isn’t working now on any app at all and even the actually camera app and it’s just a black screen with the button on the bottom. Is there any way to fix this or will I need to get a new phone ?

Try a simple reboot:


Tap and quickly release volume up button

Tap and quickly release volume down button

Press and keep holding the power button (keep holding past swipe to power off) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go.

When you're in the camera app, turn on airplane mode and close the app on the multitask manager. Then, turn off airplane mode and open the camera app.


I know this seems like a dumb fix, it may or may not work for you. However, it did for me.

I don't recommend anyone to update to ios 13.0 or 13.1 right now because it is honestly a joke. I restored my phone 3 times and tried to downgrade my phone until i found this fix.

I have the same issue on my iPhone 8 since roughly a month (so must be since iOS 12.3.1?). I hoped that iOS 13 would make it better but in fact it’s worse now. Also after installing 13.1.2 which according to Apple should fix camera Issues, it’s still black. All describes solutions here are not helping. It sometimes works but most of the time not. I already had a session with Apple support last week and the hardware seems to be fine. So Apple, when will this be fixed. A smartphone without camera is pretty ******...
