Secure camera is really good. However I find google camera works better in low light with fast moving object, like in door photo of moving pet etc.

For my use case, I have to install GCAM on my main profile, since my wife like to use it; and I don’t want to go through the hassel of transferring photos between profile. But of course, I denied internet access and setup storage scope for GCAM.

But that left me wondering, am I just making my life harder by using secure camera as default? Since it seems that although secure camera is pretty good, it is not as optimized as GCAM. I already have GCAM on my phone, so I cannot think of any privacy benefit by not setting it as the default.

What do you think? do you use GCAM or secure camera, and why?

    Thanks for explaining. I hope they consider this privilege escalation and don’t do it like that.

    I’m not sure. I should be safe, there are no google services or proprietary cloud apps on my device. I use Nextcloud for that and Matrix to chat. (I have a banking app, though, and a few other proprietary apps with tracking libraries included. Never checked what kind of servers they talk to.)
