Why Is My Instagram Camera Not Working:
If the video call is not working then either there is an issue with the camera or the issue with Instagram itself. Either server is not working properly or your settings just played the wrong role.
1. If you have not granted permissions
Instagram would require a few permissions from the camera app to use the camera. Make sure you have granted all the permissions needed for the video call to be made from Instagram.
Most probably, these options will be auto-enabled as soon as you install the app, but some Android devices won’t do so if you have used an offline installer with apk file.
It is better to always check in the app settings whether you have turned on the camera option for Instagram.
2. Instagram Camera Won’t Flip
Instagram doesn’t have a camera on its own, it just uses the camera in the phone. All we have to do is change the settings so that Instagram can access the phone camera.
Before giving access, make sure that your camera is working properly.
3. Changed Factory settings wrongly
If everything falls correctly into place, then the only option is to check the factory settings.
Many junk files might be causing some problems with your camera so it is always advisable to keep a backup before doing a factory reset.
Just choose ‘system’ in settings and do the reset by tapping on erase all.
How To Fix Instagram Camera (if Not Working):
You can try the below-following methods to fix if the Instagram camera is not working:
1. Reinstall the Instagram App
You can get all the new additional features on the phone only when you update the app. You cannot expect the outdated app to function with a new feature that is recently added.
Sometimes updating the app does not work, it is better to uninstall the app and then reinstall the latest version on your mobile. This will fix the error if that was happening for the settings or permissions that were denied.
2. Disable & Enable Camera app
If the camera app has the issue in itself then just disable the camera app and then restart the phone. After that, again enable the camera app from the app’s settings and then try rechecking the camera if it’s working.
This might solve the issue, but if this still persists, just go to the updates section and update your phone OS to the latest.
