Camera not recognised
My iPhone 13 Pro has come up with a message saying camera “unknown part” I’ve never had my camera repaired or had any issues with it ever until now. I don’t understand why this is happening?
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

If you see a message about a non-genuine part, that is discussed in this support document: iPhone parts and service history - Apple Support
An Unknown Part message appears if the part installation is incomplete or if the part:
Was replaced with a nongenuine part
Was already used or installed in another iPhone
Isn't functioning as expected

The phone thinks there is. I guess the sensor could be in error or maybe the issue is small enough so you don't notice it but a feature such as Face ID may not work.
If the suggestions in the documents to which I posted links earlier do not resolve the issue, get Apple to have a look at it. Go to this page to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Apple Authorized Distributor (AAD) --> Find Locations - Apple

i understand that I’ve read that, but my camera is all working fine. There’s no issues at all with it.
have you tried all the troubleshooting suggestions below:
turn off your iPhone then turn back on? Reset settings? Update your iPhone 16.3.1?
