iPhone camera not working after iOS 14 update

Feel free, everyone here is just an Apple user, like you.

Threatening to switch to another product does not affect any of us.

If you want to complain to Apple, you may do so here:

Feedback - iPhone - Apple

What did Apple Support suggest when you contacted them?

They haven't even admitted that this is their mistake, it will take a while to fix... One thing is for sure, I'll think 4 times before buying an Apple, currently I can't even log into my bank because I'm not able to read the QR code ... It's an absurd.

Yeah man, a hardware issue that happened to a lot of ppl after a update... I'll not pay a load of money for a problem they caused, my camera was just working fine. I'll simply buy another phone and never go back to apple anymore.

Oh Honey, I searched everything there is no cure, no answer. What you need is time. Mine takes a month for my Camera to just magically working properly. I wasn’t even connected to the wifi coz I was at a Party. Then boom! Xs Max just decided like “f**k yeah! I’m working again”…

It was around June 13 or 14 just last month. Literally just recently. It went out black like for full 1 month. The first time it’s just for hours, then weeks go by it’s frequent but can be solved by closing the app, until it went on full month.

What about flashlight and I think it’s and software update problem becuz in the afternoon I was playing phone and after that’s I sended streaks to my friends from Snapchat and suddenly up their pop out for software update and then I updated my software after that my camera and flashlight stopped working it’s not working at all I’m still waiting hoping to for my camera and flashlight to come back

Same problem and restarting doesn’t help. Neither does setting the timer. I switched it to .5x though and that is the only way I can take a picture. Of course every time I open the camera app it is at 2x and I have to switch it to .5x. I don’t consider this a solution. Flashlight still doesn’t work.

Same bug. Such a pain! Feels like having a crappy phone from a crappy company. Can’t believe this is happening with Apple! Got the bug on 2 phones at home, can you imagine? They are both iPhone 8 both new at the time. No camera, no flashlight on both! I have tried EVERYTHING possible, at least TWICE, from this thread, and the from the tips over the web, and from Apple support. They told me I should buy a new phone… really?

I would not be surprise it is some kind of conflict with the device (7 and 8) + the ios (13 and 14) + the user data (icloud, id, and saved data from the phone which gets transfer to the next phone). Otherwise it would once again look like planned obsolescence as I did live back when the iPhone 6 batteries were getting flushed within hours after an ios upgrade… remember that people?

Apple: DO something!

I tried IOS 15 but still black screen on main camera. Tried almost everything rest all setting after IOS 15 but no luck so far. It seems to be a bug or may have been done intentionally to force user to go for new version devices.

Hello, I updated my iPhone 7plus to ios 15.1 and my camera acts up. now I can’t take a video, I see same problems here when y’all updated it with ios 14 last year during it’s latest version huhu did it go back to normal after a days?

I have the same exact problem. Apple store told me it was my fault.

OHhhhh

I have the exact same issue. I solved it by downgrading to iOS 13 :(. I already contacted apple about the issue but they couldn't help me either. Guess it is waiting for newer version of iOS 14

Me to

Same bro on my iPhone 7 Plus too
