Front Camera not working after ios 13.4.1 update

I'm using an iphone 7 and after i updated the os to 13.4.1 my front camera works perfectly fine on the app but on 3rd party apps (facebook,messenger,insta,snapchat, etc.) rear camera works but when I flip it to front the app would freeze. I did the restart, relaunch, reset settings, reinstall apps, but none of it fixed the problem.

iPhone 7, iOS 13

I have spoken in length with a lovely chap at apple who has has the technical team looking into this issue since last Friday. He has called me back now to say that Apple are aware of this issue and are looking into it. He has advised me to wait for the next update as he said it is a software issue. I don't know what to do know though as I need to have video meetings for work and have no working phone. The update some are saying has not helped. It is so frustrating!

replacing a flexible camera is the solution I've been looking for so far

everything is going well now, get original parts or very good quality,

Yes, don't think the camera isn't broken because it works in the camera app,

Apples are indeed mysterious,

this works for me and one of my friend's iphone,

maybe an update has caused the system to reject parts that are not quality, maybe!

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.

How come it is because of the hardware issue?, everything was working until we update to this 13.4.1/13.4 iOS version, so are you saying this update caused the hardware issue for all these people randomly ?.

This issue is definitely caused by iOS Software update and Apple customer care has confirmed the same and they said they are working for a possible fix. you may have had a hardware issue but we don't. We will wait for Apple to fix it.

I have been doing this discussion since update 13.4, via Twitter, forums, Facebook etc. Even the diagnosis of Apple did not mention that my hardware is broken, but whatever it has all been normal after I replaced it ... Apple is indeed mysterious to my iPhone users since 3gs and things like that this indeed often confuses ordinary people
