The camera keeps turning off during video calls when I switch to a second app

Hello everyone

I moved to use the iPhone recently and I have the iPhone 7 Plus. I am facing a problem during video calls. When I switch from the application through which I make the video call to another application, my camera stops. Is there a solution to this problem?

It’s not a problem, it’s a security feature. When you switch to a different app that you have not given camera permission to it will turn off the camera so that app can’t use the camera.
