Temporary solution is the following steps


  1. Open control center and click on Flashlight
  2. Open the camera and wait for 7 seconds to 10 seconds max.
  3. Now black screen is gone and camera's working as expected.

Thanks a lot. That worked indeed. I think the issue is somehow related to the NFC Tag reader. Every time I tap on the flashlight, the camera only works after the NFC icon turns off and on very quickly. I tried removing it from the control centre but that doesn't do anything. So I put it back in order to know when I can use the camera.

Its so frustrating being Apple client and seeing how they forcefully are making us to move to newer devices when there is nothing wrong with our old ones.


Temporarily solution is not working on my Iphone 7 and flashlight does not work either. Can you please advice how to fix this problem?

The temporary solution worked for me but you have to use it every time you want to access the camera. You literally have to wait about 10 seconds since you tap on the flashlight -from the control centre. If you also have the NFC tag icon available in the control centre, you can use it as a reference. As soon as you see the NFC tag icon flicker, you can tap on the camera and it should work. Also, as soon as you can access the camera, the flashlight will turn on when you tap on the icon from the control centre -it turns off when you tap on the camera after waiting for about 10 secs/the NFC tag icon flickers.

I had to to go to the apple store in Amsterdam and they liked at My IPhone 11pro like it was a six and inspected for water damage and other damage lucky I still have 1 1/2 years on my guaranty . They acted like I did something wrong then said that they had to replace the whole front camera and light , *** it’s a brand new phone and they be lying like we did something wrong when for sure it was their product and updates... last time I buy apple 🍏🤨
