If you performed the steps in the article viewed on the top of the screen, you really only have a couple of options.

  • Force Restart device. This may take a couple of attempts to get the key sequence correct and the last step of holding the side button until the Apple logo appears could take up to 30 seconds.

  • Schedule an appointment to have it looked at by Apple. Your phone has detected a problem with your front camera and it will have to be diagnosed by Apple.
