If you are an Android user, and facing this problem, you need to head to the camera permissions for Pokemon GO app and grant all the required permissions. Go to your phone Settings > Applications. Search for the Pokemon GO app; open it and on the 'Permissions' option to open 'App Permissions'. Now, grant access to your phone camera by simply turning it ON. This will likely fix the issue.
