Than you should try reset your iphone with itunes. Notice that you should backup first.

Hi man

I did both ways, i reset adjusts from itunes and directly, even i went back to previous security copies, also tried with reset setting, but i still don't know what happened with the camera, from instagram it says "Error Launching the camera. Please try again", in whatsapp and directly in the camera just goes black. I hope there is some way to fix.......

Hi There,

I did both ways, Still it's not working please tell me is there any other way to solve this problem... 😟😟

Hi everyone,

I have the same problem on my iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.0.2. I cannot open Control Center or Camera from my lock screen. If I swipe left to enter pass code and then tap cancel that temporally fixes the issue. But only until phone will be lock again. iOS 8 new bug.. Hope we can expect the fix in next iOS release

Mine is back with the problem, after a few days working fine.

Come back Steve!!!

This is my problem as well. Camera doesn't work after iOS 8 upgrade. Nothing i've done fixes it. So frustrating.

I have the same problem as well - iPhone 5 - iOS 8.0.2

The same problem here! With the camera of my iPad mini! It started when i install iOS 8 , 8.01 and with 8.1 now! When I open the camera app some times the back camera works but when i switch it to the front camera it gets black and freeze!

I Try restore, restore as a new device, remove passcode, reset all settings and NOTHING!

APPLE repair it please camera is a build in app so it's a huge bug!(and many more!) 😠

IOS upgraded to 8.1 and the camera is still not working at all...... is apple going to loose all of us.....?

Try the following procedure:

- Disable lockscreen password;

- Remove all fingerprints registered (slide left over each one and tap delete);

- Reboot the device in normal way (hold the power button, slide to turn off);

- Turn on again;

- Enable the password and register the fingerprints again.

For me it solved without be necessary to RESET ALL SETTINGS (this is really annoying thing to do, you loose all your configurations).

I had the black screen problem (lockscreen camera) since I updated to iOS 8, later to iOS 8.02 and later to iOS 8.1.

Now, I'm completing 3 days without the problem after perform the procedure above.........

I hope it works for everyone...........
