Hi there!


Have you tried resetting your privacy settings? - (This will clear all the Privacy settings for all apps).


  • Go to the setting General -> Reset -> Reset Location & Privacy.
  • Enter your passcode and follow prompt to reset Location & Privacy.
  • Login to Instagram, go to add a photo / take a photo.
  • Follow prompts to allow access to your camera and photos.
  • Microphone and location can be allowed as well!


Hope this helps :)
