I understand now. Sorry for my misunderstanding.
Have you installed any apps since the last time you were able to view Privacy & Security settings? Or, as I suggested before, do you have any 3rd party apps that are specifically related to privacy, security, blocking, optimization, scanning, etc. If so, I would recommend Back up iPhone - Apple Support, uninstall the app(s) Remove or delete apps from iPhone - Apple Support, Restart your iPhone - Apple Support, then test again.
Is your iPhone "managed" or does it have any profiles listed in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management? If so, remove the profiles, restart the iPhone, and test again.

Your best bet may be the option to Reset iPhone settings to their defaults - Apple Support. There is an option to: "Reset Location & Privacy: Resets the location services and privacy settings to their defaults"
Make sure to Back up iPhone - Apple Support first. I would use both iCloud and local Mac backups (make sure to check the encrypt backup box for a complete backup).
Have you tried restarting your iPhone?
What is the name of the app?
To make a generalization, the majority of privacy and security apps available for iPhone are completely unnecessary and should be uninstalled to protect yourself from the effects of a poor quality app or untrusted developer.
Yes. That doesn’t work. All other applications open but privacy and security will not and as soon as I touch it the screen freezes
It’s not an app it is the privacy and security application “tab” in the settings
Have checked all the aforementioned things you suggested and none of them apply. This happened basically right after I transferred info from old phone to this phone
Did you find the issue because I have the same issue?
