apps don’t have access to photos

It seem with the last update apps no longer have access to my photos. It tells me to update my settings but nothing is available to update?

Hey there, MinnesotaKM.


It appears that you're trying to give apps access to your photos/camera Are you able to grant access by going to Settings > then scrolling down and selecting the app? You can also try enabling the app in Settings > Privacy > Photos. If you'd like, you can read more about that here: About privacy and Location Services in iOS and iPadOS You could also see if restarting your iPhone helps: Restart your iPhone It may seem like a simple step, but can possibly help.


Let us know if that helps. Take care.
