  1. Restart your iPhone: Restarting your iPhone may help resolve any software issues that may be causing the camera to malfunction. To restart your iPhone, press and hold the power button until the slider appears, then slide the slider to turn off your iPhone. Once your iPhone has turned off, press and hold the power button again to turn it back on.
  2. Close other apps: If you have other apps open in the background, they may be causing a conflict with the camera app. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to view your open apps, then swipe up on each app to close them.
  3. Update your iOS: Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check if there are any updates available. If there are, download and install the updates.
  4. Reset your iPhone's settings: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This will reset your iPhone's settings to their default values, but it will not erase any of your data. Once the reset is complete, try using the camera again to see if the issue has been resolved.


If none of these steps work, you may need to contact Apple Support or take your iPhone to an authorized service provider for further assistance.
