Try going to Settings > Privacy > Camera and see if you can enable it there.

Camera access to my apps My phone will not allow any access to my camera when I use any app that requires camera access, which includes Snapchat, Instagram or Pokémon Go. I’ve re-downloaded the apps and still no prompt to give it access and not a setting in my settings to toggle it on.
