Camera app on the watch

Hello, I have to the most updated version on my Apple Watch series 3 , and something happened to the camera application. I am pretty sure its bugged because I can not see anything when I open the app even when I switch to the front camera.

Though it allows me to tke photos, the only problem is that I cant see what I am capturing anymore

Hi


Whilst I can't say why that is happening, the following steps may help:


Check that you have updated your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:


Check that the camera app is operating as expected directly on your iPhone:


Close certain apps:


Restart (normally) both your iPhone and your Apple Watch, turning both devices off together and then restarting your iPhone first:


Check that your Apple Watch and iPhone are connected:


If the issue persists, next unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch:


If the issue persists, then I suggest that you contact Apple Support (remote diagnostics and/or mail-in service may be available, if required), make a Genius Bar reservation or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider for assistance:
