Chrome and Firefox are not able to access iPhone Camera

I have not tested this myself, but apparently this functionality was introduced in November 2020

Original answer:

Chrome and FireFox on iOS still use the iOS WebKit rendering engine. getUserMedia is only available in Safari, not other browsers on iOS.

This is currently being tracked here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=752458 - but given it was first reported over a year ago and just 5 days ago it was updated to say it hasn't been fixed, I am not holding my breath.

Chrome on iOS (13.1.1) is able to access both front and rear cameras using html5 proper input tag for image capture, but yeah still a bummer they don't support the getUserMedia for video streaming.

Here's a fiddle

For Front:<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="user">For Rear:<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="environment">

it's the last day of 2020 now, this accesses the camera on an iPad pro and shows the real-time camera view in the display just fine from safari, but on chrome all I see is a black screen with the camera controls.

<input id="sImage" name="sImage" type="file" accept="image/png, image/jpeg" capture="user">

iPad pro using the latest IOS, version 14.3: fails on Chrome, works on SafariiPad mini using IOS 14.2 and 14.3: both work on Chrome.iPhone X using IOS 14.2 and 14.3: both work on Chrome.
