Unable to Access Camera In Instagram App? HOW TO FIX THEM!

Hello friends, welcome to my new guide…! Are you unable to access the camera in the Instagram app? So don’t worry.

Today in this guide we will learn How to enable camera access on Instagram.

So if you are unable to access the camera on the Instagram Android app, and you are searching for a comprehensive guide about this, then you have come to the right place.

Some users told us that they are not able to use the Instagram camera, and this is a big problem, without this the application is nothing.

Because without camera integration you cannot use any of the application’s filters or tools.

So let’s try to fix this problem without wasting time…!

Why am I not access my camera on Instagram?

#1 Solution: Check the permissions on Instagram App

The first step is to check the permissions of the Instagram app, because every app has to give some permissions to access the camera, storage, contacts, etc.

Most of the time, when you install an application from the Play Store, you are asked for some permissions when you open that application, and some permissions are automatically enabled.

So, if you want to check the active permissions in the Instagram app, then follow the steps given below:

1. First, Open Settings.
2. Then Tap on the Apps & notifications.
3. Now Click All Apps
4. Scroll down and Tap Instagram App
5. Finally, Open Permissions (Make sure the camera access is enabled)
6. That’s It 🙂
