Camera not working on iOS16

I still have kinda same issue with 16.0.2. It kinda looks like the front camera can’t start.

Is this really there way of making us upgrade our phones? Like jesus this pettiness with customer retention reminds me of Meta with making their account deactivation so tedious. Ugh! So my camera has the glass busted out of the bottom 12pm camera , and water got in there and even moisture in my front camera socket a year ago and it WORKED FOR A WHOLE YEAR UNTIL , this MINOR "BUG" RUINS IT, ruins everyones camera and there seems to be no fix??? My phone is updated to 16.0.2 and still not working, also still have to swipe up to see notifications. Being a influencer on snapchat, this is our worst nightmare lol. Hey apple , how about you type an email to my agency explaining why i cant meet view quotas this month because you decided to ruin peoples phones and seem to be oblivious to any resolution. Or send me a new phone at least, oh wait..... 🤣

same here. i updated ios16.2 and till now i can’t access my x0.5 in my camera

I updated my phone to ISO 16 and my 1X & 2x camera won’t work. Only the .5x and I have restarted and even updated to the ISO 16.0.2 and it still has the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this or have similar issues help.

Still having the same issue. On my iPhone 12 after downloading the IOS16 beta my focus is non-existent for my 1.0x zoom rear camera. Across all apps, this camera is just very blurry including videos. The rest is still properly working (0.9x zoom and the front camera). Apple please fix this asap even in the current update the issue is not resolved.

Has this been resolved for anyone?

i did a software update last week & this issue only started yesterday. iPhone 13 less than a year old! Ridiculous! The camera worked for around 15 mins yesterday evening and then went off mid FaceTime. Very strange.

I have the same problem with my iPhone SE. The back camera and flashlight don’t work. I’ve contacted Apple Support and the diagnostic they did showed that the camera sensor was not being detected, so it looks like a hardware problem (a bit strange that some people are reporting the same problem after updating). They’ve booked me an appointment in an Apple Store. Please call Apple Support so they can notice the problem. I’ll update you after going to the Apple Store.

Any resolve for this or is apple just ignoring it? iPhone 12 same issue today.

Same thing happening with my home camera(s). Specifically the Eufy’s. Only happening on iPadOS 16 . iOS 16 just fine.

Having same issue on my iPhone X only

same issue: camera and flashlight don't work. iPhone 8 ios 16.0 (20A362)

updated: ios 16.3 fixed it

Today I transfered the contents / settings from my iPhone 13 (iOS 16.0.3) to my new iPhone 13pro. After the transfer I have tried the camera, but both camera show black picture. The front camera works sporadically, after a long waiting. iOS 16.0.3 is installed on the iPhone 13pro.

Anyone an idea how to solve it? Is it again a bug inside of the Bugfix version 16.0.3?

Please help me! Thx

And ? Solutions ?

my 0.5 camera still doesn’t work. Only in panoramic mode

Seriously ? I have the same issue on stable iOS 16.1 😅

Hi there,

You might have better luck asking this question over in Apple Support Communities run by Apple Support.

Any updates? I have restored my iphone 13 pro max through recovery mode.

But it did not help. I'm thinking about going to service center because my camera doesn't work about a month

i got same issue on my XS, begun i update from ios 15 to 16 my front camera cannot use, and laggy or some times black on back camera, until 16.1 only back camera improve, sometime still black, but front camera still cant use, very annoying

Same, I installed 16.2 last night and my Face ID has been working but the camera is blank.

i can’t see the video option for my camera

Is the same in here, camera doesn’t work.

Im having the same issues and no one is willing to fix it they just want us to send it to them for “repair” for 400 something dollars. I’m not doing that if there’s nothing wrong with my hardware. APPLE FIX THIS!!!!!!!

Same Problem! updated iOS 16.3 im Not able to focus letters or documents, Camera is not focusing near objets, there are blurred. Apple Please! HELP solving this issue urgently.

Thanks

Hi I’m using IPhone 12 and updated to IOS16.03. Few days after my back camera cannot function and it’s totally black out . However my front camera is working fine. I have contacted customer service they did help me run diagnosis report and shown it’s hardware issue .I wonder many people here are facing same kind of issue , does it consider hardware issue ? Please don’t blame the responsibility to the user who bought your phone .

iOS 16.4 on my IPhone 13 pro max and my back Camera and flashlight doesn’t work. How to fix it?
