To allow Snapchat to use your Android phone’s camera, navigate to Settings > Apps > Snapchat > Permissions > Camera and turn on the "Allow Only While Using the App" option.
If you’re an iPhone user, launch Settings, scroll down and tap "Snapchat," and turn on the "Camera" toggle.
If the camera still doesn’t work, restart Snapchat, update Snapchat, clear Snapchat’s cache files on Android, or reboot your smartphone.
