Hi there


Please try this

Force Restart Your iPhone: Quickly press and release the Volume Up button, quickly press and release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side/Power button until the Apple logo appears. 

Close Background Apps: Swipe up from the bottom of your home screen and pause in the middle, then swipe up on the Camera app and any other frozen apps to close them. 

Reset All Settings: Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings. This will not delete your personal data, but it restores system settings back to default. 

Check for Follow-up Updates: Go to Settings > General > Software Update to see if Apple has released a patch for the specific iOS version. 

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗


There appears to be a problem with the camera and/or related sensors. Only a certified Apple technician can determine the cause and offer a complete solution.


Therefore, I recommend service.
