Hello Snnyl,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We see your camera isn't working on your iPhone. We have a few steps that may help you get this sorted out.


  1. Since magnifier seemingly caused the issue, let's force the Camera app closed and reopen it then try again: Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
  2. Restart your iPhone and test again: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
  3. If that doesn't help, let's try these steps to troubleshoot the Camera itself: If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working - Apple Support


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
