Hi! The issue is that when I click Camera/Photos, there is NO options whatsoever. For Camera, the only option is to click "App Clips" and for Photos, there is no option at all. This has only started to occur once I updated my new phone, and none of the possible solutions are even possible for me to do.

I’m using iPhone 15 and experiencing the same problem upgrading to iOS 18. To add more context, I see this mainly When I install a new app which needs camera access. Solution mentioned below won’t work as I dnt see that new app in privacy & settings. Please fix it ASAP. Meanwhile Is there any way if i can revert this update? Its so frustrating…

Hi, What do I do if the app that needs permission isn’t listed? Under Settings— Privacy- Camera there are only 5 apps listed and my dashcam app isn’t there. I’ve only had this issue since the new update. Is there a way to add another app to that list so I can turn permissions on?

Here's a fix that worked for me:


Settings>Screen Time>Content and Privacy Restrictions>(Toggle this Option ON>Allowed Apps and Features>Toggle Camera ON


After those steps the Camera Option appeared in the App permissions


Hope this helps!

Hello! Here are the steps:


  1. Go to Settings-->>Privacy-->>Camera and turn the settings to ON for each app that you would like to have access to it.
  2. Go to Settings-->>Privacy-->>Photos and make sure that those apps have the Read & Write permissions.


Hope this helps!
