Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check App Permissions
Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Permissions > Enable Camera.
2
Check Privacy Toggles
On Android 12+, ensure "Camera Access" is toggled ON in the quick settings.
3
Restart the App
Sometimes the app needs a refresh to recognize the new permission.
When to See a Technician
If the camera works in the "Camera" app but not in Instagram/WhatsApp, it is 100% a permission issue.
