What happens if camera access is off?
Pokémon GO recommends enabling Camera and Location permissions for the full gameplay experience. That recommendation does not establish that camera access is required for every part of the game, and the cited guidance does not specify which features are affected when camera access is disabled. [Pokémon GO Help Center]
Camera access is controlled by iPhone’s permission setting. Apple says apps must request permission before using the camera and explain why they are asking; a green indicator appears when an app is using the camera. [Apple: Control access to hardware features on iPhone]
