I can’t allow permissions for apps to access my photos

I was on my phone earlier today on TikTok when I tried sending my friend a photo through DMs when a pop up came up on my screen saying that they couldn’t access my photos and to turn permissions on through settings. When I went to settings to give TikTok access to my photos, the option for photos, microphone, and camera were all gone. I also checked all my other apps (Discord, Instagram, TikTok, CapCut, MEGA, etc.) and none of them have permissions to access photos, microphone, or camera except for Canva, Safari, and ChatGPT.

I’ve tried all the suggestions under questions like mine on here, such as going to Screen Time and privacy restrictions, and photos is on allow so I know that’s not the problem. I’ve also gone through Privacy and Security and when I check camera the only thing that comes up is App Clips and when I click on that nothing comes up.

I am really confused why this has happened since I was able to send my friend photos through these apps atleast a half hour before I tried again and realised I couldn’t.
