EMERGENCY iMovie bug: Missing music access option

Stuck to this page, the app asks permission to use music but the option to allow music access doesn’t exist in options. I NEED IT FIXED ASAP.

This is happening based on Content & Privacy restrictions.


Go to Screen Time->Content & Privacy Restrictions->Media & Apple Music


Do Allow Changes and then you should be able to change iMovie option after Needed Permissions screen. Change back to Don’t Allow after.


Seems like you are already allowing Photo changes based on the screenshot, but same process for whoever is encountering this issue and is restricting that option.
