iPhone camera not working after iOS 14 update

Hello... after I updated my iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 14, my camera acts up. It doesn't load the camera. I then try to turn on the flashlight but it doesn't work either. Sometimes, I try to repeatedly turn on and off the flashlight until suddenly it works. I then come back to the camera and keep switching the camera modes, and rarely, it functions. Once I exit it an try the camera on an app though, it doesn't work again. Restarting didn't help my problem.

I have the same problems , it’s frustrating that so many people have these issues and the best Apple support can tell us to do is perform a reset , I was on the verge of buying and iPhone 11, but if this is apples way of supporting their product, even if it’s older , think I might have to consider changing. Dissatisfied customer right here.I went from having a fully functional iPhone , updated to the new “better” iOS , now I have a useless brick.

none of that works! lmao this is a BUG in iOS 14 its been in it since beta 4! apple has ignored the reports in the beta and the microphone issues in iOS 13! i'm just waiting on my scheduled call today and someone from apple is gonna hear it today! i can promise ya that! i'm sick of them ignoring the reports of bugs with the older devices its like they are trying to force us to upgrade! can't make or receive calls and now can't use camera or flashlight!

hello! please inform us here on what you get. i called them earlier too but they just told me to wait for apple's next update. and yes, it was there since the beta 4 update! i rolled back to ios13 after then because i just couldn't with all the major bugs interfering. i'm glad that it's not just me that's struggling with the problem. maybe for now i'm going to get used to it. there's talks that ios 14.2 is already being released for beta developers??? hopefully it comes out very soon... with a camera and/or microphone fix...
