Wondering what people are thinking about this and why the internet is so quiet about it. I am not happy. Today it decided I couldn't use the camera without giving it extensive permissions and agreeing to it. Not cool. Update: Open Camera worked and I hope Google doesn't block this and other apps in September as they are threatening. Almost slipped into agenda posting. You all have the internet too.

Time for a GrapheneOS phone. The camera app is not the default Google Camera App.

I could barely afford my bargain basement phone. No pixel or graphene for me, but I'm glad people are able to make better choices. I'm sure it helps the situation for everyone.

Even if you can't have a GrapheneOS-powered phone, you still can have GrapheneOS camera: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.grapheneos.camera.play

It isn't as feature-rich as OpenCamera or even native camera, but it does the job and it doesn't spy on you.
