[Solved-4 Solutions] iPhone Front/Back Camera Not Working

Although iPhone is one of the greatest smartphone for photos in the current market, users come across different camera not working problems whether they are using new models like iPhone 7/6s/6 or earlier version like iPhone 5s/5.

Inspect iPhone front and rear camera. Open a app to make video call, such as Skype, Facetime or Viber. Check if both the front and back camera are working fine during the video call, if so, you are facing a software problem that can be solved by yourself. If the camera still shows black screen, you may need to turn to Apple for help.

Close Camera app on iPhone. Tapping home button and returning to home screen doesn't close an app. To close Camera, double tap home screen until you see App Swticher, where you can see all the apps that are currently running on your iPhone. Find Camera app and swipe up to close it. Then return to home screen and tap Camera app again. If the screen is still black, move on to next step.

Press and hold the home button and power button (volume down button and power button for iPhone 7/7 Plus) until the apple logo appears. The iPhone will restart and you can now check the camera is working now or not.

Reset iPhone settings. Go to "Settings" > "General" > "Reset" > "Reset All Settings". This won't delete any files or apps on your iPhone but erase your preferred settings on the apps. After the resetting, open the camera app and see if it works okay now.
