Google camera requires Google photos, is there any workaround? - eviltoast

I hate Google photos because I feel it’s too invasive with that cloud backup that you never really know if a photo is online or on device, so I disabled it in my Google Pixel.

Now Google camera is broken, says it can’t show previews until I enable Google photos again.

Is there any workaround? Tried with many other galleries, but seems it’s hard coded to Google photos…

    Another alternative is the GrapheneOS camera app.

    I don’t use GrapheneOS, but their camera is available via GitHub

    If you want, you can use Obtainium to keep it up to date.

    Of course, Open Camera and Simpl Camera are great options too.
