What causes the black screen in camera after iOS 16 update?

On my iPhone 12 my camera app suddenly stopped working and it only shows black screen when I opened up the Camera app and I can’t take pictures, but the selfie camera works for me only, I tried to fix it l but still, it never works, and my flashlight is also not working.

I restarted and rebooted to new… no luck. All of this happened after the 17.5.1 update.

Apparently on my iPhone 7Plus, my camera app suddenly stopped working and it only shows black screen when I opened up the Camera app and I can’t take pictures, but the selfie camera works for me only, I tried to fix it by freeing up storage and memories and I updated my software to iOS 16.6 (The maximum of the software version), but still, it never works, and my flashlight is also not working

My phone 16 is 3 weeks old and the camera doesn’t work, it also turns off and on by itself but I can’t force it to restart. Please don’t anyone ask about updating because this happened to my husband’s SE and they told him to update it and it never worked again. $1300.00 for 20 days seems to be a highway robbery 😡

Can you explain step by step what did you exactly do? I’ve tried a reset in fact I did a clean install with iTunes through my PC but the issue still persists. Only things is - I clicked on ‘Restore’ rather than ‘New Install’. I doubt that would really matter.

I have this too, everything works and videos even record but I can’t see them on the screen while taking or after words. I’ve sent them to others and they appear fine to them. Slo-mo video works perfectly normal and camera works at all zooms on slomo vids and photos but nothing works for cinematic or basic videos

Me too

iPhone 13 Pro iOS 16.3.1 (20D67) same issue, rear cameras. Occasionally works in cinema mode.

Getting the same problem but I haven’t seen a solution from apple . Do they support this group.

any update?

I am facing same issue, Apple support is asking me to pay for H/W replacement lol..

i am facing exact same problem with my 8+ after the update

but none of camera works in my case

fu 🍎

Same here.. iphone 12 front camera issue post os version update. Service center guy asking to replace hardware!

Pathetic from Apple!!

After updating to iOS 16 I'm also experiencing the same issue. How to fix this issue, have tried all methods. One thing to do actually is to reset the phone i think so...

What do you mean by power cycled?

Wow THANK YOU! This worked!! Totally weird that it works like this but I'll take it 😆

This worked for me 100% Thanks Swastik194
