Hi isobel107,
We see you're having some issues enabling camera access for your apps. That can certainly be a very important part of various apps, and we'd like to see if we can help.
First, try heading to Settings > Privacy > Camera, and see if you can enable access for any of the affected apps here. If not, we'll try a different route. Head to Settings > Screen Time, and see if this is on. If it is, navigate to Content & Privacy Restrictions, and check for any restrictions to the Camera access.
If the above looks OK, we'll next want to see if there may be any profiles or Mobile Device Management (MDM) installed. These can be found in Settings > General > Profiles/Mobile Device Management. If neither option shows up, that usually means you don't have any installed. If there are any profiles/MDM installed, try removing them for the moment.
Sometimes a quick restart of the device can also help with similar issues: Restart your iPhone
Take care!
