Hi emi75,

Here's what you'll want to do If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working:

"Remove case, accessory, or film and test

Remove any case, accessory, or film that might block the camera or flash or that places a magnet near the camera.
Test the camera by trying to take a photo.
Test the LED flash:
1. Try the flashlight in Control Center on your iPhone or Control Center on your iPad. On an iPhone X or later or an iPad, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen. On an iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen.
2. Tap the Flashlight button .

If the flash works only sometimes, open the Camera app and tap the flash button to choose a different setting."
