Camera not working after IOS 18.6

It’s been a minute since my phone updated I think, it does it automatically, but as of yesterday my camera doesn’t take photos, freezes up, and doesn’t work in third party apps. I’ve reset my phone and done about everything I can, so the only thing I can muster is a glitch with the new IOS update. Any ideas?

iPhone 15, iOS 18

First, try ➢ this helpful guide for a possible solution.


If that doesn’t help, then Force your iPhone to restart:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo (this might take longer than 10 seconds).



If that didn’t help, then I recommend service.


Service Checklist:



Click ▶︎ Get started with camera service.
