Hi, Chris.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

I understand that you need to allow access to the microphone and camera on certain applications. You can adjust these settings by going into Settings > Privacy and selecting either camera or microphone. You then can allow or revoke access to microphone or camera for certain applications.

HI Jason,

Thanks for your reply, when I go on privacy > microphone, it shows:

'Applications that have requested access to the microphone will appear here'

and no applications are shown. This is the same with camera, etc. It seems I've tried everything!

i hope you can help,

Chris
