Cannot Allow Apps to Access Camera/Photos on iPhone 13 Pro

This has never been an issue but today I opened apps like Snapchat Instagram TikTok and other apps that have to my camera and photos. It said to go to settings and allow access. I went to settings and didn’t see any buttons or anything to give those apps access. I tried to go to screen time in settings>> content and the privacy restrictions, and it says it allows cases to photos. I tried to find a solution such as clearing a lot of my storage and resetting my phone and looking at apple questions but nothing seems to be working.( this problem is on my iPhone 13 pro)

I found a solution after facing the same issue, and none of the other fixes worked for me. (I am on IOS 18.1) Here's what i did and it worked:

1) Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Photos > Allow Changes.

2) After that, delete and reinstall the apps you want to give full access to your camera roll. You should then be prompted to enable photo and camera access.

for me the problem was with Pinterest,Reddit and Instagram.

Hope this helps!

I am having the exact problem as well with my iPhone 12. Restarting the phone does not remedy the situation.

It is all apps. Apple is broken. It isn’t the specific app.
