Why Your Google Pixel Camera Isnt Working, And How To Fix It – SlashGear
So far, all the previous methods focused on the app, not the hardware. However, if the issue exists in the hardware, none of the apps on your phone should be able to access the camera. Open an app like Instagram or Snapchat, or download another camera app from the Google Play Store to see if they’re able to click a picture.
If these apps aren’t working, you might have to turn in your phone to an authorized service center to get it checked. Before turning in your phone for service, create a backup. The easiest way to back up a Google Pixel is by syncing all the info with Google Drive. It stores all your app-related data, photos/videos, SMS, call history, device settings, and Google account data.
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and open the System menu.
- If you’re using the service for the first time, hit the “Back up now” button.
- Wait till your phone creates a backup on the cloud.
- Turn in your phone to Google.
- Once you get your phone back, restore the backup by following the on-screen instructions while you set it up.
You can also manage backups through the Google One app. If you are a free Drive user, 15GB of data might not cover everything on your phone. In such a case, consider getting a 200GB Google One for $2.99 a month until you get your phone back and restore the backup.
