There have been two occasions now where I take photos with the FP6, but when I get back to them a bit later, most of them aren’t in the camera app or in Google Photos. For instance, yesterday I was running some tests on a computer, taking a photo of each test result on the screen as it completed. I …

I just want to mention that we also experienced this during our local community event on 7 May with a regular FP6 on the latest Android OS. Pictures taken were inititally accessible on the phone (in the camera app), but were nowhere to be found on the device just a few minutes later. Had to re-do t…

so the pictures in first place existed (you could open them) and later vanished? Or did you just assume its saved, because you saw the preview in the camera App? if they really existed (you could open them) in first place this would be a different issue as discussed here in my eyes and I would spli…

What I’ve noticed is that this seems to happen when the AI features are enabled in the camera settings. If the camera recognizes t…

I had the issue today. I was trying to take a picture of my cat. Four attempts. In each one the phone is unlocked and I’m in the camera app. I took the picture, I tapped on the picture in the camera app where I can see it says ‘Processing’ with a spinner at the top. While I’m looking at this the pho…

I assume AI scene detection is enabled and identified an animal? When AI does not show the animal pictogram, pictures are properly saved for me, however not when AI kicks in…

One means of avoiding AI seems to be to use “Pro” mode, as discussed here: [image] Android 16 - Cropped picture with 2x zoom Fairphone 6 Since the latest update (Android 16), I’ve been having an issue with the 2x zoom on the main camera. When I take a photo wi…
