Unknown camera part problem

My camera had been working perfectly fine but today it had started to tell me that there is an unknown camera part? And my front camera is the only thing that doesn’t work the back camera is fine. I have had this iPhone 12 max for about a year now. What do I do?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

iPhone 14 pro camera says unknown part I have an iPhone 14 pro, very well cared for, never have had any parts replaced. I got a random notification on my phone stating my camera had an unknown part. All my software updates are up to date. Camera seems to be functioning fine. Why did this randomly happen? Do I need to replace my camera? Do I need to report a software issue? Any information and help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hello,

Yeah, that happens sometimes. If your camera is genuine, it will eventually go away. It should work OK in the meantime:
