How to Fix if Camera is Not Working on iPhone (100% Works)
0Steps to Fix iPhone Camera Not Working
Basic Checks and Restart:
Inspect the Camera:
Ensure the lens is clean; wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Remove any case or accessory that might block the lens or flash.
Check for physical damage to the lens (e.g., scratches or cracks).
Close Camera App:
Swipe up from the bottom (or double-tap Home button on older models) to open the App Switcher, then swipe up on the Camera app to close it. Reopen it to test.
Restart iPhone:
Press and hold the power button (or power + volume on iPhone X and later) until the “slide to power off” slider appears. Slide to power off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on.
Alternatively, perform a hard reset:
iPhone 8 or later: Press and release volume up, press and release volume down, hold power until the Apple logo appears.
iPhone 7: Hold power + volume down until the logo appears.
iPhone 6s or earlier: Hold power + Home until the logo appears.
Check Camera Permissions for Apps:
Context: Since you asked about apps like Instagram and TikTok, the camera issue might be app-specific (e.g., camera not working in TikTok but fine in the Camera app).
Verify Permissions:
Go to Settings - Privacy & Security -Camera.
Ensure the app (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, PlayStation App) has camera access toggled on (green).
If toggled off, enable it and test the app again.
Reset Permissions (if unsure):
Go to Settings - General - Transfer or Reset iPhone - Reset - Reset Location & Privacy. This revokes all app permissions, so you’ll need to reauthorize apps for camera access afterward.
Adjust Camera Settings:
Check Restrictions:
Go to Settings - Screen Time - Content & Privacy Restrictions - Allowed Apps.
Ensure Camera is toggled on. If off, it disables the Camera app and camera access for other apps.
Test Camera Modes:
Open the Camera app and switch between modes (Photo, Video, Portrait, etc.) and cameras (front, rear, ultra-wide). If one mode or camera works, the issue may be specific to a feature or lens.
Disable Advanced Features (to rule out glitches):
Go to Settings - Camera.
Toggle off Live Photos, Macro Control (if available), or Cinematic Mode to simplify camera operation.
Set Preserve Settings to ensure your preferences (e.g., last-used camera mode) don’t cause conflicts.
