I am getting an error message stating security policy prevents use of Camera every time I try to use the camera.

I have tried all the options to resolve the issue including clearing cache and data, soft restart, disabling sensors basically everything I have read or watched on the internet.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Clear the phone's system cache files partition > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to hook up to a Computer or insert your earphones to enter into recovery mode. 

If no joy Try Safe Mode @Fatjason 

> https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/ will help to highlight if an app or theme etc is potentially causing issues. 

As a final resort back up and factory reset may be an option.

I wish you all the best.

@Fatjason - Did you ever figure out how to fix the camera? My S21 ultra started w/ the message a few days ago, and my mic doesn't work either. I too have changed every setting and tried every suggestion but factory reset. did you factory reset? did it work? im really trying to avoid that option...

Hi. Not really. It seemed to fix itself after a time but has done it again a couple of times since.
