Hi Mspears361,


There's actually a support article specifically for this topic at If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working. Per that site:


"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 Flashlight icon.

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."


Regards.
