My apps won't let me access my photos to use in apps, like instagram and pinterest, they keep saying go change privacy settings but when I go into the privacy setting nothing comes up.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I did that and I clicked on settings/privacy/photos but all that comes up is apps that have requested access to your photos will appear here and it doesn't have any thing to check off

have you gone to settings/general/restrictions then down to the privacy section and tapped on PHOTOS does it have Allow Changes ticked? Then go to settings/privacy tap on Privacy then tap on photos and make sure you have turned on access to photos for the apps that you want to have access

I'm assuming you already fixed it, but to anyone wondering:


1. Hold down your power button for about four seconds.

2. A slide button should appear that says "slide to power off", slide it.

3. Your phone will begin to turn off. When it's completely turned off, press (or hold if necessary) the home button and an apple will appear on the screen.

4. The phone will eventually turn back on and it should work now.
