After installing ios7 no app appears in Settings->Privacy->Photo

Hello everybody,

I just updated my iPhone 5 (the normal one, no "s" nor "c") from IOS 6.1.4 to IOS 7.0 (no beta version was installed inbetween) and I have discovered that, after the update no app has got access to my photo folder... not even those which had it befor the update.

the thing is that I have no restraint so please don't sell me the old story "go to settings->generals->restraint and allow changes in the section where I can decide which apps can access to my photo folder and which can not because this has already been taken care of... Once clarified that I have no restraint that may prevent my apps to access my photo folder let's go to my question:

the point is that no apps appear in the section Settings->Privacy->Photos where I am supposed to go to switch on the green button that grants to the apps the access to my photo folder... in that menu it just appears the sentence "here go all the apps that my ask permission to access your photos" but after that sentence there is no app requesting access to my photos... the list of apps that was previously there in my IOS 6.1.4 has just disappeared...

At first I had the same problem with the localization services but after resetting the preferences and rebooting the phone the problem solved itself... I have tried it again just in case it might work also on the "photo problem" but with no success...

does anybody has the same problem that I have? How could I solve this inconvenience?

thanks in advance

cheers everybody

ok, so, quick update to my problem: (I solved it myself)

the Settings->General->Reset->Reset Location & Privacy as said before wasn't working, I tried everything that came to my mind with no success, I got tired of waiting for help and since no body answered my question I suspected that this was a one time problem and that nobody was having it...

I thought it might be because of a corrupt installation of the ios... So I proceded to restore my phone to the backup I made when I first bought it and then I have reinstalled ios7 from scratch...

It worked, now the problem is solved and my phone is working smoothly. I decided to post this just in case somebody would come across the same sort of problem.

thanks anyway to the comunity.

cheers everybody
