Method 2. Close Camera App and Reopen

Sometimes, your camera app stops working is just because of the interference with other apps. So you can try to close the Camera app first and then reopen it.

Step 1. Tap on the Home button twice (for iPhone models with Home button) or swipe up on the screen for a few seconds (for iPhone models without Home button), and you will see all the apps you've been using.
Step 2. Swipe to the left side and find the Camera app. Then swipe up on it to close the app. Open the Camera app again to see whether it works now.
