Camera stopped working

I updated to iOS 16 yesterday and my camera stopped working. Both sides , selfie mode AND outward facing camera. I’m supposed to trade this phone in when my ordered one gets here as an upgrade. What do I do?!?!?

iPhone 15 camera not working after updating to iOS 18.3.2 After updating to iOS 18.3.2 my iPhone 15 camera is not working. It shows only a black screen on both front and back cameras and does not take or store photos. I have restarted the camera and the iPhone several times and reset the settings, all without success. I am very reluctant to reset the phone to factory settings as it is always difficult to get back to it’s present state. Anyone else having this problem and how do I resolve?

iPhone 14 rear camera not working after iOS 18.5 update My iPhone 14 updated during the night to 18.5. That same morning, the rear 1x camera stopped working, and the 0.5x camera worked sometimes. I took the phone to a tech shop, had the cameras replaced, worked for 3 hours and then the same happened. Restarting it made it work one time, but now it doesn't work. It can't be a hardware problem nor a coincidence. If someone could help out with some info on how to fix it. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Rear camera not working after 18.5 update.

iOS 16 camera crashes Since updating my 13 pro to iOS 16 my camera app crashes and won’t take pictures. Multiple other apps are slow and unstable. Restarting corrects it for 12-24 hours but it returns. I wiped the phone and it still didn’t fix it. Are others experiencing this and are there are suggestions? Apple doesn’t seem to be fixing this with updates. Very frustrating.

it can be a software bug, this happened to me when I updated to Ios 14 when it was just released, I updated my 8+ and the camera stopped working a couple of weeks after the update, and I had to wait a few days after the new ios released
