To allow the camera for Snapchat on an iPhone, follow these steps:


1. **Open Settings**: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.

2. **Scroll to Snapchat**: Scroll down and find Snapchat in the list of apps.

3. **Camera Permissions**: Tap on Snapchat, and you should see a toggle for Camera. Turn this toggle on to allow camera access.


If you don't see the camera option in Snapchat settings, try these additional steps:


1. **Check Screen Time Restrictions**: Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps, and make sure the Camera is allowed.

2. **Reinstall Snapchat**: Sometimes reinstalling the app can reset its permissions. Delete Snapchat and reinstall it from the App Store, then open the app and follow the prompts to allow camera access.


This should enable the camera for Snapchat on your iPhone.
