I've heard a lot of people are having a black screen in the camera App after the IOS 16 Update and I'm one of them. Is there already a fix for this, because it's been almost a month and now you can't even downgrade to IOS 15. Is Apple even aware of this problem?

iPhone 12, iOS 16
I have an iPhone XR which demonstrated the "black screen" rear camera (but the front camera still worked). First I had the rear camera replaced at a local independent repair house. That fixed the camera but only for a day. Then I updated from IOS 16 to 17 last night and did not test the rear camera again until today. To my horror, the rear camera had gone back to the "black screen" rear camera. I tried some of the solutions in this thread. Nothing worked until I did a "force restart" by pressing/releasing the side buttons of the phone as described in Force restart iPhone - Apple Support. At the moment the rear camera is functioning again!

I’ve got an iPhone 8 and the exact same issue as described by the OP.

My camera screen has turned black tonight. I am fuming. iPhone 16 is the worst phone ever.

Ok my back camera and Face ID has been working up to 4am yesterday morning
as I woke up around 12pm yesterday afternoon my Face ID stopped working and I can’t even use my back and front camera why?
My iPhone 16 pro max has actually stopped working for 2 days and apparently needs to be re booted! I can’t believe it! I have never has so many bad experiences with a new iPhone!
I have a 12 pro max and about a month ago when I try to take a picture in iMessage my camera is black. Why is this happening??
I found a solution guys!!
For me when fiddling with the magnifying, once I can get it to 0.5x the back camera turns on. (Tap the magnifying number while on the back camera) Is a bit fiddly but it works. I’d guess apple thru software shuts off the back camera if it detects some hardware issue. (My phone is a bit beaten so I wouldn’t be surprised but curious if you guys have good condition phone that have this issue or are like me and have potentially water or fall damage like me) it’s more of an work around to apples software than a solution but it somehow bypasses whatever the iPhone is trying to do. Maybe a camera expert knows about if changing magnifying changes some detectors because that would probably be the issue. (I have ios15.6.1) Anyways God bless, have faith in whatever god has for your path and I hope it work
This works. Take the camera to 1x zoom and then tap the 1.0x on the screen to take it to 0.5 zoom. Camera instantly starts working. It isn’t fixed. It comes up black again after you close and reopen but do the same thing each time and it’ll work and take photos. Work around for apple’s sorry lack of support on this.
