Front Camera not working after ios 13.4.1 update

I think its because you have not updated your phone correctly. I am also using iphone 7 but its front camera is working great in all the apps and as well as the main camera app. I think you should downgrade to some stable ios using itunes. Its really simple.

Please Let me know if it works !!

Please report the but to Apple: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/

I think it's the only way they could assume is a bug and release a fix.

At the moment the only solution they gave is another iPhone.

enough by replacing the flexible front camera and all for good
a little wonder indeed why the camera can be normal in the camera application and we think it's not broken,
but believe me I've done this by replacing the flexible front camera with original parts or can be said to be of good quality!

after updating my Ios 13.4.1 im also having issues regarding my front camera, when i take a selfie photo without flash it is not seen or save in the photos app, then it begin to crash and force close itself. But when i take selfie with flash on it works perfectly fine, and also burst shots it works and save instantly in the photo app. Third party apps like facebook messenger instagram snapchat, may front camera works fine. Can please anyone recommend what to do or how to fix this? I tried already the reset all settings, reboot, and even updated to the latest version of 13.5 but nothing change i still having this issue.

I have explained this from a long time ago but they don't believe it. Some people even in this discussion said they have replaced their cameras, yes maybe with non-original parts, that's why the problem is not resolved 😂 ,, some iPhones they bought at low prices after some parts were replaced the cause 😂

I've finally solved the problem!

I restored the iPhone 7 Plus with all available iOS versions (13.5, 13.5.1, 14beta1, 14beta2) and no version helped. It was just a waste of time! Apple will probably never fix this problem! Accept that a software update will not help.

I found a way to solve this problem.

First of all, I checked with 3uTools that I had the front camera replaced with a Chinese non-original camera! Apple has killed Chinese replacements parts and to solve the problem you need to replace your front camera with the original part from disassembly!

Step by step list of how to deal with the problem:

1. Install 3uTools (Windows only).

2. Connect iPhone to the computer via cable.

3. On the "iDevice" tab, click "View Verification Report".

4. If the front camera has a different serial number than the one assigned to the motherboard, the program will show the information in red "Front camera may be changed". This means, no less, that in your phone camera has been replaced with a non-original part. Replace the front camera with the original one from the disassembly. However, if the program shows the information in green "Normal" (although this is not possible in my opinion), I do not promise that changing the camera will help something.

5. Look after the original disassembly camera. Search on local auction sites. Do not buy the camera on Aliexpress because you will get the cheapest replacement part there. Even the substitutes have the Apple logo, but of poor graphics quality! Therefore, if you want your front camera to work, try to get the original part. The price of original part is around $ 10 - $ 50.

6. Get the right tools for your phone. You will need: screwdrivers (pentalobe, tri-point Y000 and Phillips), suction cup and spudger. In addition, if you want to remain waterproof, a screen tape will be useful.

However, if you are not good at manual work, go to a technician! Wrong screws can kill your phone's motherboard!

7. No need to restore the phone after replacement front camera.

I had exactly the same issue after my iPhone 8 upgraded to ios 13.5.1.

The morning after the upgrade the front camera would not work.

Nothing I tried made any difference.

A few weeks later my iPhone upgraded to ios 13.6 - camera still not working

Last night my iphone upgraded to ios 13.6.1 - camera is now working !

Apple - THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE !! If you are aware of your upgrades causing these issues you should ACKNOWLEDGE this, instead of staying silent!!

And the facility to rollback a software upgrade should be available, but then of course we would know for sure that the problem is being caused by the upgrade....

For disabled people I paste the solution post from page 14:
