Q: iOS 8.4 rear camera freezing

Hi everybody,

 

Is anyone else having this same issue where the iPhone 5S rear camera freezes or does not respond (showing a black screen) on iOS 8.4.

 

The camera does not work on any of the other apps that uses the camera, such as Instagram, Whatsapp, and even iMessage.

 

I have tried switching the phone off and on, resetting the phone (hard reset), clean restore to no avail.

 

If anyone has successfully solved this issue, please do share it with me.

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

J

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4

    I had the same problem with my girlfriends 5S. She missed the 8.4 update but we did iOS9 and that's when hers started. After some researching, I found the solution (for her phone at least). Remove the phone from the case and gently press down on the camera lens. I pressed around 4-5 times and opened the camera app... VIOLA!

     

    I hope this works for you all!
