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 was too difficult, then simply ask Siri: "Restart".


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


Service Checklist:



Click ▶︎ Get started with camera service.
