iPhone 16 Pro Max iOS ver 18.3 - Camera stopped working in apps like Marco Polo and Amazon. No error, just a black screen. All Privacy and app settings are set to allow camera access to apps, but no joy.
Any thoughts?

The opposite actually. The apps weren’t updating and installing properly. If it were iOS, no third party apps would work with camera, like Instagram or Facebook.
I’m glad it’s resolved to your satisfaction and I hope you have a great day!
As stated above, delete those apps not accessing the camera and download again. Once they are all installed please do a forced restart.

Yes, it does work in the camera app, but I have tried it in 4 separate apps with the same behavior. Interestingly, it does work in Instagram and Facebook apps, but none of the others. None of the apps that I tried to use ti in are related.
Does the camera work with the Apple Camera app?
Are the apps that are having issues updated to their latest version? If they are at latest version try deleting the apps and downloading new copies from Apple App Store.
Yes, all apps are up to date.
OK, that worked. Very clunky solution but gets the job done. Sounds like an iOS program issue (bug).
