  3. Across from Camera, toggle the switch on to allow Playground to access your camera.

  4. Then, tap Photos to open the Photos Permission Settings screen.

  5. Tap Photos to open the Photos Permission Settings screen, then choose Full Access so Playground can upload from and save photos to your photo album.
