iPhone camera black - no image

Is your iPhone camera showing a black screen instead of an image?

Here, I'll describe what you can do if the camera's image is black.

If the camera lens is not just dirty or covered, you can usually reactivate the camera with the following tips:

1. Turn your iPhone off completely and then back on. Now test if the camera works again.
2. Go to Settings. Open the General menu and tap on Restrictions. Check the Camera option - if necessary, disable and enable it once.
3. Make sure no other apps are accessing the camera - close other apps.
4. Perform a soft reset on the iPhone -> Press the volume up button and quickly release it. Press the volume down button and quickly release it. Press and hold the side button. Release the side button when the Apple logo appears.
5. Try to install available updates.
