My camera is not working, it just shows a black screen when I turn it on. Snapchat and instagram cameras aren't working as well.
In the restrictions the camera app was not restricted and still it's not working.
Can anyone help me out?

This is a hardware problem. This comes up when the ribbon connector from the camera to the main circuit board comes loose or gets disconnected altogether. If you have the right tools and enough DIY skills to open up your iPhone, it's a very simple fix that should be fairly obvious to see. Otherwise, the Apple Store should be able to repair it for you (I would think free of charge, but who knows).
If you do want to take apart your iPhone and attempt the repair yourself, PowerBook Medic has some really nice instructions for taking apart all versions of iPhones from 3GS and above. They also sell replacement parts and will repair it for you as well if you want. (Disclaimer: I have no affiliation nor prior experience with this company, so use at your own risk.)
This is what the front camera of an iPhone 4 looks like:
That little white/silver part is what's probably come loose; just pushing down on it gently should allow it to snap right back in.

Best Answer
If the affected apps have permission to use the camera, try to force the iPhone to restart: hold down the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time until you see the Apple logo (about 10 seconds).
