Allow camera access

For some reason, my iPhone SE is suddenly having a problem with Snapchat not allowing camera access. It was fine 2 days ago, but is now not letting me use the app. I have found ways to bypass it but still, even when I click on the ‘Go to Settings’ part, my phone doesn’t have the option for it.

No camera access for apps on IOS 18.2.1 Hello, I just updated my iPhone to IOS 18.2.1 (the newest IOS) and I’ve lost the ability to choose camera access for my apps. I have looked everywhere in the settings and can’t find anything regarding turning on camera access for my apps. I found a section that lists apps that have camera access but it shows that 0 apps have access and there is literally no way to change any settings to make it possible to have camera access outside the camera app itself. I am talking no access for my reciept apps, Snapchat, TikTok, everything! Any help is appreciated!

Snapchat Camera Permission Ever since I updated my IPhone to the IOS 17 Software, every time I go on Snapchat I receive a pop-up telling me to allow camera access but when I click the button provided it takes me to the IPhone settings and there’s no option to allow camera access. A common answer to this question I’ve seen is going into the privacy and then clicking on the camera app and then allowing permission through there but I did that and there still wasn’t an option to allow access. Please let me know if you know how it fix this. TIA

Allowing apps access to my camera Snapchat is asking me to allow access to the camera, but when I follow it to settings there’s no option to turn camera on. It will not let me into the app until I allow access. (I have an iPhone 11) I followed the instructions to go to privacy and then to camera to allow access but there’s no apps listed asking to access to camera. I know I have plenty of apps that ask to allow access to camera so I’m confused why none are showing up. I reset location & privacy. I made sure there’s no restrictions barring access. I deleted and reinstalled the app. Nothings worked. To make matters worse, there’s other apps that won’t use face recognition anymore for the same reason. I’m extremely confused and don’t know how to fix this. Please help.

Edit: There is a way to turn it on in the app itself but then it takes you straight back to the settings to allow the camera access but it isn’t there. I don’t understand how to get it to just work. It never asked me that question before, my sibling has the option to turn it on but I don’t. I need to figure out how to allow camera access for Snapchat.
