Go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Photos
There you will see a list of apps, which have asked for access to your photos. Turn them on if you want those apps to be able to access them.

Access to photos is contained in Screen Time. I don't know why you don't get the list of apps which have asked for access. For an app to have access to your camera, you will need to go to Settings > The App (example Facebook) and grant access inside the settings for the app.
Go to any app which says you need to give it permission to access photos, then go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restirctions and see if that app shows up then.
If no, you'll need to reach out to Apple Support for help.
hey, i just realized my phone wasn't updated (i thought it updated when it came out with auto-install), but i just installed it and everything is back to normal. thank you for your help. i will look there next time in case this happens again.
hey, thanks for the help. when i go to that, it only says allow changes and don't allow changes. no list of apps. also, camera isn't here? only photos.
I'm glad you've got things working for you.
