If your Samsung phone camera is not working, most issues are software-related and can be fixed by restarting the device, clearing app cache, using safe mode, resetting camera settings, or performing a factory reset if needed
Step 1 — Restart Your Device
Restarting often clears temporary glitches affecting the camera.
Press and hold the Power button and tap Restart, or
For unresponsive devices, press and hold the Volume Down + Side (Power) key until the Samsung logo appears to perform a force restart
Step 2 — Clear Camera App Cache and Data
A corrupted cache can prevent the camera from launching properly.
Go to Settings Apps Camera Storage
Tap Clear Cache, then Clear Data (this resets camera settings but keeps your photos intact)
Also, consider clearing the Gallery app cache, since it works with the Camera to store images
Step 3 — Reset Camera Settings
If you have customized camera options like resolution or modes, they might conflict with the hardware.
Open the Camera app Settings (gear icon) Reset settings Confirm
Step 4 — Check App Permissions
Camera issues in third-party apps often relate to permissions.
Settings Apps [App Name] Permissions Camera and ensure permission is Allowed
You can also review all apps accessing the camera through Settings Security & Privacy Permission Manager Camera
Step 5 — Test in Safe Mode
Safe Mode disables third-party apps temporarily to identify if an installed app is causing conflicts.
Press and hold Power, tap and hold Power Off until Safe Mode appears, then confirm
Open the Camera app; if it works, uninstall recently installed apps one by one until the error is resolved
