However, if these tips do not work, you must visit an expert instead of investing more time in fixing it.

1. Clean it well

It's significant to clean the iPad's screen and camera daily with the provided screen protector. The camera lens always attracts more dust and debris. Over time, the lint, dust, and other grimy substances can accumulate on both the sides of the camera lens. It may hinder camera’s functionality or clarity of images/videos.

To clean it without harming its sensitive parts, use a microfiber cloth. You can mop the iPad's rear and front-facing camera lens with it. For stubborn dust, you can use a new toothbrush or an anti-static brush instead of cloth. Make sure that you do it carefully.

After the cleaning is done, try opening the camera app again. If it still doesn’t work, you camera has some other issue. So, try other solutions. We have 7 more yet.

3. Beware of third-party apps that Need Access to Camera

Have you ever used or are you using any third-party camera application on your iPad? Beware that there are supremely buggy apps, which might be the reason for not working on your iPad. 

So, to check if camera is alright, switch back to the original camera application, making it the default. Also, if the camera works well now, uninstall the problematic third-party app.

If the problem persists, you need to contact the iPad Camera repair service in Delhi, FixMyMobile. Within a few hours or 1-3 days, you will get your iPad back from service, and you shouldn't bother about the authenticity of the part replacement. All are genuine!

4. Wind up all of your applications 

If your iPad has one or few apps, crashing a lot, it may keep running in background and significantly affect the performance of iPad components (including your Camera app). Closing all apps will resolve the potential problems these apps might have caused.

Use the Home button twice or a few times to open the app switcher. After it gets opened, swipe your opened applications up, in order to close them. After all apps are closed, try using camera and see if it works.

5. Restart your device 

Restarting your device can instantaneously fix some not-so-important software glitches, which causes the camera not to respond. Every app and program, including the camera, will shut down naturally when iPad reboots.

To reboot:

1. If your iPad has no home button, you will have to use volume up and down keys simultaneously.

2. If it has a home button, Press it for a while.

Now, leave your iPad for 1 minute approx in the complete shutdown mode. Once over, press and hold the upper button or power button until the logo of Apple emerges on the screen.

6. Reset all settings of the iPad

The factory reset option deleted everything in the settings app of your iPad. It's more like a magic bullet for the acute software issues, which can't be solved by applying the aforementioned tricks. 

To reset your iPad, you need to open Settings > General > Transfer iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings. Lastly, reset all settings to confirm your decisions will delete everything from your iPad.
