Hey nohunw,


If we understand correctly, the camera on the iPad is black. We would recommend you use this article to help troubleshoot the issue.


If you switch to the other camera, is it also black?

Does the camera work in other apps?


  1. "Remove any case, accessory, or film that might block the camera or that places a magnet near the camera.
  2. Test the camera by trying to take a photo.
  3. If the photo is blurry, clean the front and back camera lenses with a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens or if the camera lens appears to be misaligned or blocked, contact Apple Support for help with your iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch.
  4. Restart your iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch
  5. Test the camera again by taking a photo. If your device has a front and rear camera, check if one or both isn’t working. To switch cameras, tap the rotate button ."


If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working


Please don't hesitate to let us know if you need additional assistance.
