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, ive been having the same problem an none of the other solutions worked.

All you have to do is

1) go to Settings > Screen time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Photos > Allow Changes

2) Then go into the apps that you want to give full acces to your camera roll (snap, Insta, Tiktok etc.) and you will be given the option to enable photo & camera access. Hope this helps!

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