Try a Force Restart, but if the drop caused internal damage, you'll need to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for evaluation and service options/costs.

DO NOT let anyone other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider touch your iPhone.

Assuming no non-Apple service provider has been inside your phone, have Apple evaluate. There are few if any real fixes for camera issues you can do at home.


If you or a non-Apple service person opened your phone, Apple may refuse to work on it.

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.
