New Android Feature Cancelled

New Android Feature Cancelled

+It is going to affect millions of smartphone users, Google is removing a key Android feature for privacy concerns.

Android 11, the next version of the world’s most popular mobile operating system, will prevent apps from using third-party camera software to take photos.

Instead, the phone’s default built-in camera app will have to be used.

When taking photos, current versions of Android allow apps to display a pop-up camera picker from which the user can select their preferred camera app.

However, this option has been removed in Android 11.

This means users who installed popular camera apps such as VSCO, Adobe Lightroom or A Better Camera, will have to revert to their phone’s built-in camera software when taking photos or video from within another app.
