How to find missing Camera app in iOS 26?

I have the newest ios 26 and my camera control button, doesn’t work, because i can not choose the camera app in the settings. I can only choose instagram, snapchat, magnifier and code scanner. Restarting my phone didn’t help, turning it on and off didn’t work. Any help?

Go to Settings/Screen Time/Content & Privacy Restrictions/Allowed Apps and Features and make sure Camera is enabled. If it is, turn it off, then on.


If your iPhone is managed by a 3rd party, such as parental controls or MDM, or you have a work or school email account on the iPhone they can override your settings.
