AI Overview
To manage camera access on Android, go to Settings > Security & privacy > Privacy > Permission manager > Camera to control individual apps, or use the Quick Settings (swipe down twice) to toggle all camera access on/off globally for privacy. You grant permissions per app (Allow only while using, Ask every time, or Deny) to control when apps like social media or video call tools can use your camera, ensuring you maintain control over your device’s camera.
Granting Camera Access to Specific Apps (Per-App)
Open Settings: Find and tap the Settings app icon on your phone.
Navigate to Permissions: Go to Security & privacy > Privacy > Permission manager (or search “Permission Manager” in Settings).
Select Camera: Tap on Camera to see a list of apps.
Manage Permissions: Tap on a specific app (e.g., Instagram, Zoom) and choose your preferred setting:
Allow only while using the app: The best balance for most apps.
Ask every time: Prompts you each time the app needs the camera.
Don’t allow: Blocks camera access entirely.
