Ratings and reviews

First issue, Pictures and videos taken are rapidly becoming "corrupt", unreadable. Second issue, turn on camera and nothing shows followed by "Failed"end shuts off. I've reset the camera options which worked for a couple days, unfortunately this no longer works and simply closes. What other options could I try. My memories unfortunately are now Lost Forever. 😢💔 I have tried changing it the SD card several times, but eventually goes corrupt again. What can I do? 😡😢

It would seem I have yet another application to uninstall via Android Debug Bridge. If for some reason I am in requirement of filters on a photo, I would much rather edit it in post than have an entirely separate app for it. It really shouldn't be that troublesome to integrate the functionality of this app into the stock camera one, so I feel that an external integration really shouldn't be necessary.

Its not a dangerous app, however it is being rolled out in a less than open way. Its not listed as a stand alone and lives in the system. I think it best to accept the update. Basicly Snapchat wants to be the default camera 3rd party control. It seems to piggyback on the camera app and add features for apps like IG. And others that use augmented reality, filters ect. But Im quite confident it is providing a nice data stream back to snapchat. I will add I'm no phone software expert.
