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.

camera was working just fine 2 days ago on ios 14.7. What I did was to open whatsapp and use it's camera interface to send a photo whic was pitch black. I turned phone off and on which I received a message that face ID no longer works everything happening in mere minutes. I did everything official including erasing content and upgrading to 14.7.1 which did not solve the issue. I believe this is software related but seems the bug in ios has been triggered by an app which apple have or have not yet found out since similar issues have been around with different ios and phones for a few years now. Flashing ios back or forward to some developer betas may me worth giving a try.
