iPhone camera stopped working, I think it's hacked.

Good afternoon, I need help, the camera on my phone stopped working, the phone says that the camera was not installed, the phone was not disassembled and was not repaired, in my opinion, the phone was hacked, I need help


I used the tik tok program at one point it was noticed as if someone got into my phone and started flipping through and exiting the programs after that Ira stopped working the camera and the flashlight I tried to reinstall the main program did not work

the general estimate about the purpose of hackers is to get info that is primate to steal identities and money, not to disable the camera of some random person.


the changes that your camera has become physical defect or some software bug cause your issue is grossly more likely


if it was

me then I would


 


try


restarting the ios device Force restart iPhone - Apple Support and check if it resolved it if it did not


then I would try Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support - Apple Support if that did not resolve it then I would
