Good article! I followed the steps, but I don’t see the app I want to allow camera access for. What should I do?
If the app isn't listed, it may not have requested camera access yet. Try opening the app and see if it prompts you for permission. If it still doesn't appear, check if the app is updated or reinstall it.
I had trouble finding the Privacy settings before. It's pretty straightforward once you know where to look!
I get that camera access is important, but I'm really cautious about granting permissions. I feel like so many apps misuse this access, even when they're from reputable developers. Anyone else feel the same?
Thanks for the detailed steps! Just to clarify, does toggling the switch off for an app completely revoke access, or do I need to uninstall the app for it to lose permissions?
