Troubleshooting iPhone Camera:


Perhaps it is disabled with screen time?


Enabling the Camera in Lock Screen:

Enable it through use of Screen Time:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Screen Time
  3. Tap: Content & Privacy Restrictions
  4. Enter: Passcode
  5. Tap: Allowed Apps
  6. Tap: [Camera] (So it is green)
