Hello,


Try going to Settings> Privacy> Camera> Instagram> enable. Since the option isn’t showing up, it probably won’t be in Privacy, but worth checking. If it isn’t showing up there, open Instagram and attempt to make a story, it should in theory prompt the phone to request access to camera.


I hope this helps!


Sincerely,


Captain
