Camera Not Available on Signal

[strongthany]

Sometimes when trying to take a picture through Signal, it is unable to take a picture.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open signal and navigate to a conversation
2. Tap the icon to open the camera
3. Tap icon to snap a picture

Expected results:

• Picture would be taken and then move on through the app

Actual results:

• Image freezes before alert appears at the bottom of the app reading “camera not available”

No such problem on my FP3+ ??? Works fine.

EDIT 1. I was using the front camera, will try the rear.

EDIT 2. Yeap! no problem sending images taken by the rear camera. ??

Hi Strongthany,

I never experienced issues with Signal and the FP3 camera. Which OS and OS version do you have? Have you modified your system by, for example, trying to “de-google” it?

Best wishes,
