None of my apps have access to my photos

Since the update none of the apps on my phone have access to my photos I’ve deleted and reinstalled them I’ve gone to settings, to the apps and they are allowing me the option to give permission to access them. I’ve gone to general, reset and reset my privacy. Even gone to privacy and taped photos no apps show up there. Nothing is working!

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13

No option to allow apps access to photos When apps ask me permission to have my photo gallery, I click yes and it brings me to settings for that app but there is no option for allowing access to photos. Its like this for all the apps. It also only started happening today and was working fine before. Ive already tried to reset my location and privacy but it did nothing.

Apps do not have access to photos after IOS 13.7 update Hey there, ever since updating to IOS 13. I cannot upload a photo via any app. It always says "this app does not have access to your photos, you can change this in privacy settings" when I go to "photos" in the privacy settings, it says "apps that have requested access to your photos will appear here" but there's nothing there. It's like it doesn't realise these apps want to have access to photos and stuff. I deleted some apps Facebook, Instagram and re-installed it, clicked "allow" when re-installing and no change. It's really annoying me, as I can't even upload photos to Instagram and that's the whole point in Instagram! I've googled it a million times and nobody seems to have the same problem, and if they do they seem to have solved it by going to privacy settings. I've even went into the seperate apps in privacy settings and again it doesn't seem to realise that the apps even want access to photos. Please help!

Here are my suggestions.

Check Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
- Be certain “Camera” is “on”.
- Be certain “Photos” is “on”.
Note that Snapchat asks for access to the Camera, not necessarily Photos.
