Question

Hi, I have iPhone 8 and just recently updated to iOS 16. Now, I noticed that the main camera is not working, not sure though because I can see my figure but super blurry like it's really not working and when I switched it to the front camera it works back sometimes it won't even be switched to the front camera. As well I notice that the flashlight in control panel is grayed out and can't be turned on! Any fix for this? Is this an ios 16 issue?

If your iPhone flashlight doesn't work, it is important that you do panic and start to reset all the settings on your iPhone. You could change something you can't identify and cause even bigger problems for yourself. Wait it out first and see if the problem will correct itself. You can try taking pictures with the flash on. Not on auto. If this doesn't work after a while, try one of the methods below to fix iPhone flashlight not working after updating to new iOS, including iOS 16.
