That's a perfectly valid choice.
App developers of that size have the resources to make their own camera UI, and produce the experience they want to.
- oblio 4y agoAnd the experience they produce on Android is worse than the iOS one, because Android apps are second-rate mobile citizens.
- daveoc64 4y agoIt's the same on iOS too. Many major apps make their own camera UI, because it allows them to make a bespoke experience that actually feels like something that's part of their own app. There's always the option to use the standard camera app, but that will feel jarring to most people, as it's just not how the most popular social media apps work.
