My iPhone 4s camera isn't working? - 1

I dropped my phone the other day and just today my camera completely stopped working. I have tried it through Instagram, snapchat and regular taking a picture. If anyone has advice on what to do besides taking it to Apple, please help!

Have you tried swiping up at the lock screen? It opens the camera through that too. But if you have and all it is on the lens is black it's possible the lens shattered when you dropped it. So it's probably best to let Apple fix it.

  • Why isn't my iphone camera working? I have the iphone 4, and I recently dropped it into the sink with water. I've left it in rice for a couple days and it turns on and I can get calls, but when I go to the camera it's just a black screen, for the front facing camera too, I can't take photos at all. Also I can't connect to my home Wi-Fi. Is it still wet? Or maybe it hit the sink when it fell and something disconnected?
  • Why isn't my Iphone 5s Camera working? For some reason I can't get it to face towards me when I press the small camera picture on the right top side of the screen, it just goes blurry. I have only had the phone for 3 weeks now I tried to reset the whole phone… I mean I did… I thought it would help but it hasn't. So what do I do?
  • Why isn't my iPhone 4S camera auto-focus working? It stopped working ever since I got my phone screen fixed. It was months ago. I even bought a new camera part on Amazon and replaced it but it didn't make a difference. I also restored the iphone to its factory settings and still out of luck. Is there a certain camera I need for this iPhone? Like based on a model number or something?
  • Which camera is better: An old General Imaging x500 Digital Camera or an iPhone 7 front camera? It looks like an iPhone only offers 7 MP while this camera boasts 16 MP but this camera is so old and looks worse at least on its own screen. I'm confused
