• Open your Smartphone settings app
• Tap Apps & Notification
• Tap see all Apps > Camera.

• Tap storage then clear cache.

This should help mainly your front camera and maybe the rear Quad camera.

Open your camera and check if you have fixed the issue. If not, redo the steps stated previously. If the problem is fixed, reinstall any problem you removed before the last one.

4. Reset your Pixel Phone

If the problem still persists after trying out the methods I stated above, then you need to Reset the phone. Backup all your file and reset your phone back to its factory defaults. This would remove all your third-party app, and it would look like you just bought a new smartphone.
