Exit Split View to Enable Camera - iPhone Message

On Iphone is not working to use the google lens anymore

The reply is not helpful.

Google app and Tiktok camera does not work. The same as said “The camera is not available. Exit Split view to enable camera”.

Haha, a Nobel Prize might be a bit much, but I'm just happy I could help! Your gratitude is reward enough.

I am facing the same problem

How to turn off the iPhones?

Setting →general→ scroll down to the bottom and hit "Shut down". This will solve the issue in you phone as it did it for me.

How to turn off Exit Split View?

Still waiting for the solution.

Hi Kartamish,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Since the alert you've received mentions Split View, let's start there. To close split screen, use these steps from Close split screen or a floating app on your iPad - Apple Support.

"How to close or get out of split screen on your iPad

1. Touch the controller in the middle of the vertical bar between the two apps.
2. Drag the controller off the screen in the direction of the app that you want to close.

Learn how to use Split View multitasking mode to work in two apps at the same time."

If you continue to have any issues, make sure that your apps also have access to your iPhone camera. This guidance is from Control access to hardware features on iPad - Apple Support

"Review or change access to the camera, microphone, and other hardware features

1. Go to Settings  > Privacy & Security.
2. Tap a hardware feature, such as Camera, Bluetooth®, Local Network, or Microphone.

The list shows the apps that requested access. You can turn access on or off for any app on the list."

All the best.

If someone find a way to fix it without turning off the device would be great

I tried closing every apps, holding power and volume up to lock the phone, opening youtube and returning to home screen so it shows the vid in pnp and closing it, but didn't worked

I'm new on iphones so I might don't know much about how iOS "thinks"

I just updated mine again to ios 17.0.3 and it works. I think the 17 update causes it.

I had the same exact problem, i just had to update my phone.

let me know if you find out how to fix it. it happened to me too and i can’t use google lens or tiktok.

Just shut down your IOS device. weather it's iPhone or iPad the camera will start working for apps like Tiktok, Google lens.

I wanna give you a Nobel Prize ^_^

Update to the latest software and it will fix the issue. :D

Turning off the device helped me to resolved the issue immediately and it never occurred again . I'd love know if someone comes up with any other trick to solve this problem.

How can I turn it off
