This app is available through the Play Store with the app.grapheneos.camera.play app id. Play Store releases go through review and it usually takes around 1 to 3 days before the Play Store pushes out the update to users. Play Store releases use Play Signing, so we use a separate app id from the releases we publish ourselves to avoid conflicts and to distinguish between them.

Releases of the app signed by GrapheneOS with the app.grapheneos.camera app id are published in the GrapheneOS app repository and on GitHub. You can use the GrapheneOS app repository client on Android 12 or later for automatic updates.

11

Full list of changes from the previous release (version 10). Notable changes:

• enable photo EXIF metadata removal feature by default now that it's well tested (orientation is preserved since it's not hidden metadata and location metadata is handled via a separate opt-in toggle)
• avoid crashing on devices with CameraX vendor extension support when switching to the QR Scan mode

Full list of changes from the previous release (version 8). Notable changes:

• fix serious regression from the previous release for the in-app gallery breaking filtering in an edge case where all photos are deleted and then it's reopened
• fix in-app gallery order in secure mode

8

Full list of changes from the previous release (version 7). Notable changes:

• add extended More Settings menu
• add support for stripping all non-orientation, non-location EXIF metadata (location is handled with the existing disabled-by-default toggle and orientation metadata is an essential part of the image's appearance)
• move save image as previewed to more settings
• add gyroscope suggestions option
• add image compression quality configuration option
• add support for choosing a non-default (DCIM/Camera) output directory via system file manager
• multiple small improvements and bug fixes for the in-app gallery UX

• replace barcode scanning image analysis rotation with the more robust CameraX implementation (improves reliability of scanning some non-QR barcode types)
• temporarily replace CameraX EXIF timestamp generation with custom code properly handling time zones (to the extent that it's possible with EXIF) until CameraX improves
• improve display of EXIF timestamps for in-app gallery
• record FHD video by default instead of UHD (CameraX still has quirks for UHD recording which should get largely fixed in the next few months)
• improve handling of images being deleted externally
• update CameraX libraries to latest alpha release
• update other dependencies

• disable overscroll for bottom tab layout
• improve share icon appearance for the in-app gallery
