Can't allow Snapchat access to camera

Hi, I am having trouble getting my snapchat to work. It says my phone needs to allow access to camera. However when i got to snapchat in settings there is nothing there to allow it. Please let me know if anyone knows a different way thank you!

Hi Ooliviaaa,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Apple's support article"

"Control access to hardware features on iPhone"

Says

Review or change access to the camera, microphone, and other hardware features

    1. Go to Settings  > Privacy.
    2. Tap a hardware feature, such as Camera, Bluetooth, Local Network, or Microphone.

The list shows the apps that requested access. You can turn access on or off for any app on the list.


Here's the complete article: https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/iphone/iph168c4bbd5/ios


If that is where you've already looked:

Seems Snapchat hasn't requested access to your camera, for you to allow access.


Hope this helps :-)
