Hello irena113


From what I'm understanding, the front camera is not working to do selfies in the Messenger app, correct?


Is that in the iPhone Messages app or the Facebook Messenger app? Is the rear camera work in this app?


Check out the following article for some steps you can try when your camera isn't working: If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working


If it is in the third-party app, check in the settings to ensure the Camera is allowed in the Privacy Settings. Go into Settings > Privacy > Camera > Messenger (Should be on in Green)


Hopefully this helps!


Cheers!
