I completed the iOS 17.3.1 update two days ago and ever since then my back camera and flashlight won't work. I have turned my phone on and off, completed a reset, completed a hard reset, and completed a factory reset and NOTHING is working. I have not dropped my phone and it is in no way damaged, this problem literally only started once the update was completed. Looking for advice on what I can do.
So the camera facing me works ok but, the outward facing camera has a blank screen and no flash. If I continually try to de-zoom and get it to 0.5X, it takes a picture with a wild looking rainbow color across half the picture. Still no flash either. I use my phone to document lots of things at work. I might finally go Android if this is not resolved. My iphone 14 has never been dropped or damaged. It was the morning after the 17.3.1 overnight update when I noticed the camera and flash stopped working.
Please help us out Apple. It’s not just me having this issue.
I can take a photo on .5 but the quality seems not as good.
Yep
Same
Make sure there is no crack in your lense as that can cause that issue.
I looked into that and it seems rollbacks are no longer an option.
There is no crack in the lens.
That feels dodgy to me. And how can they prove that!
That’s reassuring. I hope the next update provides a fix.
Yes. After the 17.3.1 update I can force the camera to 0.5X but the picture taken has a rainbow effect all over it and looks crazy.
Same happened to me after updating IOS 17.3.1. I have tried everything, my iphone 14 pro max back cam and flash still not working 🥹
Thank nice one
