Camera app on iPhone showing a black screen and not taking pictures

So - My camera won’t take pictures when I go to the app. It is black, doesn’t even show anything but the controls.


I have rebooted - I have checked the setting in the settings app.


I can open a new text and take a picture and send it.


How do I get it to work again?
