The toggle to allow access for an app to use my mic, photos, camera, etc… are all missing since the last update and I am logged out of all of my apps as well. I have attempted every “trick” and suggested fix I can find online, and nothing is working. If I go to Microphone it only shows App Clips and it says zero access. What is wrong? How can I fix this with my phone?
iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 26
If A restart doesn’t resolve the issue, please do a reset of all settings.
iPhone > Settings > General > scroll down > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset (bottom of screen) > Reset All Settings
This isn’t Apple Support and shouting (using all caps) is not an appropriate manner of speaking to fellow community members who are trying to assist.
If you follow this path,
iPhone > Settings > scroll down > Apps > pick installed app on your device > what do you see? Please provide a screenshot.
Here’s what I see.
I wasn’t screaming; my phone was just in all caps and I was too lazy to change it. Also, who says that all caps is yelling? I have always found that odd because that’s not how I tend to you use capitalization in texting or message boards, but my apologies if I offended you. I am fully aware of the apps that do and don’t have the need for these features, and the photo you shared is exactly what my phone used to look like; however, now it looks like the following photo attached for all apps that do use a microphone, photos, location, etc. microphone is my main focus at the moment.

They are saying the microphone option is not even there to assign to any apps. The same as mine since I updated to iOS 26. It’s gone and now all apps have been signed out of and microphone access to any app has disappeared.
I restarted my phone and everything came back. Just a glitch I guess that’ll probably get a fix soon as it seems to be a thing! UPDATE* on restarting my phone it has now deleted all of my iOS tabs in safari..so now I’m back to beingpissed off!
What app are you referring to? Microphone access is assigned on an app by app basis.
EVERY SINGLE APP!!
It says: Siri, Search, Notifications, Live Activities (toggle), Background App Refresh (toggle), Cellular Data (toggle). That is within the settings for every app on my device now.
Many of my apps don’t have access to microphone as an option because they’re not capable of using the microphone.
