Broken Front Camera?

So I recently dropped my phone and there was no visible damage. But, the front camera does not seem to work and when I open apps like Snapchat or Camera it auto-switches to the back camera. The weirder aspect is that face id still works. It is an iPhone XR. Any Solutions?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

camera not working Yesterday I dropped my phone, and it cracked my screen protector. I replaced it. But since then, my camera won't work, only the front facing one will. I have cleared out the camera, I have turned off my phone, I have even reset my phone. But it still doesn't work. What is wrong??

iPhone 12 Pro camera problem Hi! I’m an owner of a iPhone 12 Pro. Unfortunately 2 days ago my iPhone fell from a tall building. The good thing is that my iPhone has not been damaged, not even one scratch. But I found out a problem, the back camera isn’t working and also the flashlight as well, and the Face ID on first use is very slow. I tried to download an application for testing the iPhone, the ultra wide camera work perfectly the other no, instead on the main camera app nothing work not even in the third part application. Im afraid that the connectors are disconnected. I tried to reset completely the phone and also the options. id like to go to the apple store but unfortunately I’m in a holiday in a country where there are not apple store. thanks so much

Get it examined and then repaired.

You dropped it.
