Unable to give access of Camera, Contacts and Microphone etc to External Apps like Facebook, WhatsApp etc.

My iPhone won’t allow me to give any apps camera, microphone, contacts,

or library access.

I’ve gone to their individual settings for the apps and there’s no options. If I go to Camera in privacy, I don't see the options.

Furthermore, I notice all of my contacts are gone. None have any names nor can I give them any. If I try going to the Phone app, the tab for contacts has disappeared too!

In the Calendar, the option to add dates is grayed out and all the dates of the automatic holidays and such are gone too.

I’ve had the phone for just over a year and it only just started doing this.

I’ve made sure that I don’t have restrictions on, I’ve reset locations and permissions, and I’ve reinstalled apps. I really don’t know what else to do.

How else might I try to resolve this?

I understand you're having trouble with permissions on your iPhone. I'd be happy to provide information to help you address this.


First, make sure you have the latest updates installed: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Then, try the suggestions here to help with granting permissions to your apps: About privacy and Location Services in iOS and iPadOS
