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.

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!!!!!!!

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 .
