iPhone XS Max Camera Issue

My camera has just started making a weird high pitch crackling noise and the camera can’t focus. Is this something I can fix at home?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

iPhone XR camera starts shaking and makes a weird sizzling or crackling sound Has anyone experienced this for no apparent reason? I haven't dropped it, recently added apps or updated before it started doing this. When I open the camera (rear facing) it's focuses initially and then within seconds starts shaking and I can hear a faint sizzling sound. I've tried all of the common fixes except factory reset and reload, I guess that's next but I'm not that optimistic it will fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

iphone 12 making crackling noises when i open my camera i’m not sure how to fix it because my camera does have a crack in it and it makes the camera blurry but i’ve been using 0.5 for the past 5 months and nothing has happened until now and im not sure what to do, it continues to make this sound even during live photos, if you click on the live photo you will hear the sound and it’s very annoying, so if anyone has any suggestions i’d be very grateful! 😊

Try restarting if that doesn't work, you probable need to get it repaired. Also, iPhone camera repairs are VERY difficult, you would have to replace the entire camera unit.
