Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first because this is not very difficult to figure out but as I started to get more and more questions about the same thing, I didn’t feel good to leave the people on their own. Let’s answer this question once and for all.

1. Pokemon go needs proper permissions to work properly. This is required on both iOS and Android side of the spectrum. You will need to make sure that you have allowed Pokemon Go to access camera. On iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy > Camera and here you have to make sure that switch for Pokemon Go is ON. On Android: Open Settings > Applications and here you have to look for Pokemon Go. Select it and make sure that you have allowed camera access to the game.
2. Once done, open recent apps and kill Pokemon go. This is not required, but it is recommended. On iOS: Press the home button twice to open recent apps. On Android: Press the recent apps button or press and hold the home key.
3. Now open Pokemon Go again and look for aPokemonn near you. Select the Pokemon and now tap on the camera button in the top left corner of the screen. If everything was done as it instructed, you should now have a working camera in Pokemon go.
