# How to fix a blank screen on an Android Phone

When your Android phone shows a black screen when you either open a camera app or try to take a selfie, then there is a bug inside the app or the camera hardware has malfunctioned.

See [How To Fix the Camera Not Working On Your Android Phone](https://www.bananacrystal.com/faq/how-to-fix-the-camera-not-working-on-your-android-phone/)

If none of the above work, we recommend taking your phone for repair or using a third-party camera app, like [Google Camera](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera&hl=en_US&gl=US&pli=1)
