Samsung Galaxy A04s Camera App Does Not Open

When you open the camera app on the Samsung Galaxy A04s, it opens a black screen and the camera does not work. Follow these steps to get the camera app working again.

Samsung Camera App Doesn't Have Access to Device Camera

It could be that when the Camera app asked for permission to access the device camera, you accidentally clicked deny. No worries, there's a simple fix. Hold on your Camera app and click on the info tab that pops up, then go to permissions. Find the tab that says Camera, enter it and make sure to check the option “Allow only while using app”. Then you should be set.

Storage is Full

If your device storage is full, the Camera app may display a black screen. To check your Samsung's storage, open the Settings app. Then, go to Battery and device care and click on Storage. If the storage is full, free up some space by deleting photos, uninstalling apps, or moving large files to cloud storage.

Camera App Features Glitch

Sometimes, some of the Camera app features are unstable and can cause a glitch, like a black screen. To fix the issue, turn off all Camera app features by tapping the gear shaped settings icon in the Camera app, scrolling down, and tapping Reset Settings. Select Reset to confirm your decision.

Camera is Broken

If after trying all these suggestions your camera is still not working then the issue might be the camera itself. You might have dropped your phone or cracked your camera. To fix this follow our guide: [Samsung Galaxy A04s camera replacement guide link].
