My I phone 13 say camera is not recognized?

Hi Fitsum!

If your iPhone 13 says "camera is not recognized," here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Restart Your iPhone: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve temporary glitches.
2. Check for Software Updates: Go to Settings > General > Software Update and make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS.
3. Inspect the Camera: Make sure the camera lens is clean and free of any debris.
4. Reset All Settings: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This won’t delete your data but will reset system settings.
5. Restore Your iPhone: If the issue persists, consider backing up your data and performing a factory reset. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings.
6. If you have the skills, open the device and try reseating the camera ribbon cable. if not you can see if a local repair shop will reseat that cable for you.

Happy Fixing!
