I installed the iOS16 beta to test the new features and everything works well except the camera, which when I access it the screen is completely black. Initially I upgraded from iOS15, after restarting, turning off/on, I tried to restore the iPhone in different ways (from the Mac and from the iPhone) without solving the problem.

I also tried to restore to iOS15 to rule out a hardware problem and here the camera worked correctly, so I upgraded back to iOS16 and it stopped working.

The camera does not work in any application, in the Camera, in iMessage, Halide, Instagram, WhatsApp,... The controls and buttons of the camera app do work, but it doesn't take the photo or see anything.

Same here. It's so annoying.

I have the same problem on my iPhone XS Max. What an idea to release a beta version with such a critical bug. Especially since no communication from Apple suggests that they are aware of this bug.

I got the same issue and after restarting the phone I got a warning message saying the camera is not genuine. It is a IPhone 12 pro that has never been repaired. Attempting to go back to IOS 15. Hope this solves the issue.

I have just downloaded it today and noticed my cameras stopped working. Pretty sad to say that there is been nothing from Apple NZ to see if they would release a beta with such a big bug

I’m having the same issue. Oddly it didn’t happen with the first public beta and is only happening with public beta 2

I’ve had the same issue ever since ios16 dev beta 2. I can get the wide angle 0.5 camera to record videos though. Panorama photos on 0.5 works as well.

Haven’t had this issue but I have had concerns with the image processing of photos taken using macro mode after updating - I think the image sums up the issue (blotches all over the image)

Still an issue as of the latest update today. Ugh. Is Apple just not aware of this? It doesn’t seem to be that well known of a problem.
