iPhone 14.7 .1 camera issues


Same here…. After installing iOS 14.7 .1 I am immediately getting iPhone camera issues. Is anyone else experiencing this? And do you have any fixes?


The Auto focus and white balance on my camera is totally screwed up in the iPhone camera app. When I take a photo it does not register and store the photo in the photos album. The same with portrait mode etc. The camera hardware it self seems to be fine because I can take normal photographs via WhatsApp and other apps. HELP!!!!!!

I didn't even use the iphone 12 pro max which just bought from the Apple store, and after updating iOS to 14.7.1 this **** “important camera message” appeared. After that:

flash is not working, neither in the camera app nor from the control center,

sometimes the camera app is black, sometimes there is video, but you can't zoom out to ultra-wide or tele zoom in

Buttons often get stuck in the camera app.

So, I paid to Apple for an expensive phone because of a good camera and only got a charging cable and a cell phone without a camera, and support only advises replacing the camera which was sold broken to me. Not fair. Very disappointed.
