Steam Mobile app not requesting camera access on iPhone

Hello, I want to use the camera to scan a QR code via the Steam Mobile App, but the camera won't open because the Steam Mobile App doesn't ask for camera access permission.


When I look at Access in Settings, it's not given manually.

The Camera option is active in the Screen Time section.

I restarted the device using Volume Up - Volume Down - Side Button.

I reset the network settings.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

I reset the phone again.


However, none of these options worked.


The question is: How can I grant camera access permission to the Steam Mobile App?

Hi, I found a solution to the problem. You need to go to the profile editor - avatar and install a new avatar, then choose to take a photo, and the application will request access to the camera, then restart the application and the scanner will work.
