How to fix iPhone camera issues

• Apple suggests that if your photos are blurry or the camera screen is black, then you should remove any case, accessory, or film that might block the camera or flash or that places a magnet near the camera. This applies to your iPhone, iPad or iPod.
• Now test the camera by trying to take a photo. Similarly, test the LED flash too.
• To test the flashlight, go to the Control Center on your iPhone or iPad. Whereas, on an iPhone X or later or an iPad, you can simply swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen and tap the Flashlight button with the Flashlight icon.
• In case the flash works occasionally, then open the Camera app on your iPhone or iPad and tap the flash button to change the settings.
• If your photos are still blurry, then you should consider cleaning the front and back camera lenses with a microfiber cloth to avoid any scratches.
• Now, restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and test the camera again by taking a photo. Check the same with your front camera to know if one or both isn't working.
• You should also check for the latest iOS or iPadOS update available to your device. This may help to resolve the existing issues.
• Check if your 'voice-over' feature is on or not. This may sound weird, but sometimes black screen issues are observed when your device is working with the 'Voice-over' feature. Just visit the Accessibility under the General Settings and turn it off.
• In case you see dirt or debris inside the lens or if the camera lens appears to be misaligned or blocked, or if the camera or flash are still not working properly, then you should contact Apple Support to discuss service options. Do note that this may be an expensive solution and you may well have to decide whether paying that much money is worth it.
