After updating to the latest software, some iPhone users cannot
upload photos to Facebook, encountering a lock screen telling them,
“This app does not have access to your photos and videos.”
Users that see this message in the Facebook app in iOS 6 won’t be able to upload photos to Facebook from the Facebook app, though the new Facebook Integration still allows users to post photos from the Photos app.
This guide will show users how to fix the Facebook cannot upload photos error so that users can upload photos from their Camera Roll to Facebook.
The problem is that some users may mistakenly deny Facebook access to
the Camera Roll when it asks the first time. The new iOS 6 privacy
settings prevent apps from accessing Photos and contacts without
explicit permission. If a user tells Facebook not to access the camera
roll they will see the Facebook photo upload lock screen shown above.
Open Settings.
Tap on Privacy at the bottom of the screen, some users may need to scroll down to see the Privacy menu.
Tap on Photos.
Find the Facebook app in the list of apps and slide the toggle to On.
Some users will see multiple apps here, don’t be alarmed if there are no other apps on this screen.
After turning access on, check to make sure Facebook can upload photos. If the app prompts, allow access to the camera roll, but it should be good to go without asking.
Users will see similar prompts when using apps that access location, photos and contacts in iOS 6. This is part of Apple’s new plan to allow users to control their information better. If a photo app or social network app asks for permission to access Photos on the iPhone , most users will want to say yes.
If a game asks for access to contacts or other information, the better answer might be No. Some apps may try to gain access to contacts or location for purposes most users wouldn’t like. When an app asks for permission to access contacts, photos or location stop to ask if it really needs access to this information.
