Check your iPad's Privacy settings for Photos and Camera:

Settings > Privacy & Security >

  • Photos
  • Camera


Each App that requests access to your Photo Library and Camera will be listed under the relevent section - where you can configure appropriate access restrictions. For your Photo Library, you can typically select for Full Access, Limited Access or None. For the Camera App, you will be able to simply enable or disable access.
