Photo settings on iPhone's Safari stuck on “Private Access” with iOS 17

In Settings>Privacy and Security>Photos, Safari shows Private Access as the only option and states "This app can show your photo library but can only access the items you select." I cannot find anywhere to select/deselect photos. All other apps show None, Limited Access or Full Access. I am missing something.

Can anyone shed some light?

I have this problem now too. Safari, YT Music, Pages, and DDG (of all apps that one is extra weird to have that). I cannot change the photos settings that are stuck on “Private Access”. IOS 17.0.3 on the 15 Pro, did you ever figure it out?
