Been on GOS on my Pixel 9 Pro XL for about a year and use the default camera app (the GOS one, not the Pixel one).

I’m not a pro photographer and the photos I’ve taken lately look like they were captured on a low-res laptop webcam. I’m suddenly appreciating how easy it was to take decent photos on iPhone.

What camera app do you use? Or are you using a separate device? Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

    Can’t it still (theoretically) communicate via play services (if you have them installed) or am I being overly paranoid?

      Maybe? I thought the point of Google Play Services being a regular sandboxed app was to prevent such things.

        My (limited) understanding is that the sandboxing stops it having root-like privileges to do whatever it wants, but any app that wants to actually use it still can (otherwise play services wouldn’t actually be able to do anything and apps that require it would still fail, right?)
