Camera access

When I go to use my camera on Snapchat, TikTok, or BeReal, it says “go to settings to allow (app) for camera access” but then when I go to settings, it doesn’t give me the option to allow camera access

Hi Emdoug,

Thanks for posting here in Apple Support Communities. You'll need to go to Settings > Privacy & Security to grant access to your camera. This article will walk you through doing so: Control access to hardware features on iPhone - Apple Support

If you're still having trouble, make sure that you don't have restrictions enabled for any of these apps.

Kind regards.
