Photo settings have disappeared

As soon as my phone updated to 17.4.1 my photo settings for all of my apps that use the photos or camera app were disabled. This would only be slightly inconvenient if I was able to go in and change it back myself, but the photos option is no longer there at all when I go to a specific app’s settings! Please help me figure out how to get the photos option back so I can use my apps again that require access to photos and camera.
