iPhone XS camera and flashlight problem

The camera and flashlight suddenly stopped working on my iPhone XS, however the camera and flash still works in the Messenger and Instagram App. The selfie camera still works in the Camera App, but the regular camera is just black (regardless of zoom or setting). I've tried a reset and an update to iOS 16.0.2 (I was previously running iOS 15). I did drop the phone once shortly before the camera stopped working, but I'm not sure if that's related since the camera still works in different apps.
