Facebook not accessing all photos from iPhone camera roll

This is happening to me too BUT there’s no option in my settingS to give access to Facebook. I’m also having other stupid problems all of a sudden where apps are telling me I have to allow access to Face ID which I never did before.

Same issue here .. the options are there .. inside of Facebook but it won’t allow me to click and continue .. it’s almost as if they coded it wrong and the button is unclickable .. Facebook isn’t allowing me to upload any photos unless I go directly through the browser . I’ve check the iPhone settings and on my 12 there is no setting to allow Facebook to access photos inside of the iphone .. what am I supposed to do ...

at the moment until the issue is fixed I went to Instagram and linked my accounts so whatever I post on ig goes to Facebook but that’s all I’m able to do until they fix the issue ..

Tried this and no change. Still cannot select photo albums. Even tried the changing profile pic suggestion. Only made the issue worse. Now I’m only able to select from the 20 most recent photos on my camera roll. So ready to completely abandon Apple and go back to Android. Do you have a method that ACTUALLY works or no?

Thanks, Mary. This worked for me, too. Weird problem, though. In Settings-Facebook, you can choose between “selected photos” and “all photos”. For some unknown reason, mine was et to “selected photos”...

Hi Yellosharpie,

This worked for me - I hope it works for you also:

Settings ➡️ Facebook ➡️ Photos ➡️ Select All

It was Diggieboo’s perfect solution, which was posted here, in case you didn’t see it. 😊

Hi -Huy-

Try one of these following suggestions that seemed to work for others:

rhea_422 suggested this:

go to setting ➡️ general ➡️ reset ➡️ reset setting

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and altonxa suggested:

try changing the profile pic on your Facebook and then give access to your camera roll

good luck - please post of any of these works for you

Did you try contacting Apple using the Apple Support app? There’s a selection for someone to call you back - you’ll have an actual person to speak with. Just let them know everything you tried and it’s still not working. Hopefully they can suggest something new.

Please post with any results and/or solutions.

Good luck!

You should RE-read what I posted before which is what worked for me as well as the SUGGESTIONS that OTHERS posted that worked for many people also ~ just so you don’t have to look back here’s what I had posted:

No need to get nasty with me or Diggieboo - his suggestion is the one that worked immediately for me.

rhea_422 suggested the reset and that worked for some people.

I understand your frustration and do feel bad for you.

Maybe try deleting and reinstalling the Facebook app

If nothing helps then try contacting Apple on the Apple support App - you can have them call you back if you don’t want to wait on hold - they’re very good in responding

Good luck and please post whatever ends up working for you.

Go to Settings... screen time... content & privacy restrictions... photos... set to “allow changes”

... In the app you’re trying to grant access to your photos try accessing your photos again, it should prompt you to give permission, accept

I wish this approach would work with IOS 14.4.1. I am no longer able to upload photos from photos to facebook - it just stalls up every time. I can make it work using the Safari browser, but it's a hassle.

Oh help. I'm trying to do this on an iMac and am not seeing the options that are apparently available on iPhone and iPad. When I use Facebook on the iPhone, the entire "Camera Roll" is available. But not when I'm on the iMac. On the iMac, when I try to change my profile pic, it opens Photos and then opens a very limited array of photos. There does not seem to be a way to get to the "Camera Roll" altho I can get to all the albums I have created. Thanks in advance.

Mary, go to settings, select Facebook then select photos and choose “all photos” . I’ve just done it and it worked.

Hope this is of help 😊

There are no Photos in Facebook settings

Did you do settings ➡️ Photos or Settings ➡️ Facebook ➡️ Photos ➡️ All photos?

I am having the same problem.
