Why can’t I allow access to my camera on Instagram?

Unfortunately, you cannot allow access to your camera on Instagram for security reasons. Instagram is a social media platform and as such, it needs to maintain a certain level of privacy and security for its users.

Allowing access to a user’s camera could mean that the user’s private information could be exposed to malicious actors, which could result in potential harm. Additionally, given the increase in cybercrimes in recent years, it is important for social media platforms to be extra vigilant when it comes to security.

Therefore, camera access on Instagram is not available for users to ensure the safety of user data and protect users from cyber threats.

How do I add camera access to Instagram?

The last possibility is that your camera could be broken. Try taking a photo or recording a video to determine the state of the camera on your device.
