Unable to access photos and info in multiple apps after updating iPhone to latest update

The latest iPhone update requires permission to allow access to photos etc, but when I go to allow access there is no tab to permission the access. Does anyone know how to resolve this? My iPhone is a mess since this latest update!

More often than not, the permission to use Photos, Camera and Microphone can be found as follows:


Settings > Privacy & Security > Photos - Look for the app turn the switch on for the app
