Camera iPhone 13 pro max

Hi petey218,

Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!

It sounds like your front facing camera on your iPhone isn't working, correct?

If so, check out this resource which explains how to troubleshoot your iPhone camera: If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working - Apple Support

"Remove case, accessory, or film and test

1. Remove any case, accessory, or film that might block the camera or flash or that places a magnet near the camera.
2. Test the camera by trying to take a photo.
3. Test the LED flash:
   1. Try the flashlight in Control Center on your iPhone or Control Center on your iPad. On an iPhone X or later or an iPad, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen. On an iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen.
   2. Tap the Flashlight button .

If the flash works only sometimes, open the Camera app and tap the flash button  to choose a different setting.

Contact Apple Support

If the camera or flash still isn't working properly, contact Apple Support to discuss service options."

We hope this helps you.

Take care!
