Photo booth app camera black screen? How to fix it
Short answer: A black camera screen usually means the camera permission is off, another app is holding the camera, or the app failed to start the camera. Check the permission in Settings, close other camera apps, then reopen the booth app.
1. Check the permission
Settings > Apps > the app > Permissions > Camera > Allow only while using the app. If the app keeps asking even after you allowed it, turn it off and on again.
2. Close other camera apps
Video calls, a QR scanner or another camera app can hold the camera. Close them and try again.
3. Restart the app
Swipe the app away from recent apps and reopen it.
4. Switch front and back
If one camera fails, try the other.
5. Use album photos
If the camera still won't start, make the strip from album photos instead.
FAQ
Why does it keep asking for permission?
Usually the permission was set to 'Don't allow' permanently. Change it in Settings.
What does BoothCut do here?
It explains which problem it is, opens Settings for you and offers album photos — no black screen.
Does clearing cache help?
Rarely. Check the permission and other camera apps first.
