Not able to allow camera access in any apps

I’m not able to turn on camera access for any of my apps (iPhone 13), when I go to camera in settings it says what’s listed below. I’m not able to access Snapchat at all or any other apps that need it.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

There are two possibilities:

Apps don’t appear in Settings/Privacy & Security/Camera until you open the app and they ask for permission to use the camera.
If you have a business or school account on your phone, or parental controls, the administrator can block allowing apps to use the camera.

Try restarting your phone or deleting and reinstalling the app.
