Unable to install the Camera app

Unable to install “Camera” Please try again later.


That’s the message I get when trying to install the app Camera, the default camera app. I uninstalled it accidentally and now my $900 phone doesn’t have a camera app.


I have an iphone 15 running iOS 26.3 (23D127)

iPhone 15, iOS 26

I don't believe you can uninstall the camera, just remove it from the home screen. Have you checked in the App library to see if it's still there. Keep swiping left until you get to the App library and then search or look for it.
