When I click the image picker on my Pixel 7A I can’t take a picture but only select from my library. It gives this message: “This app can only access the photos you select”

This is probably an Android Security thing but I can’t get it to work.

The app should allow it because it works on my other Android phone.  
Also using the file upload component I am actually able to take pictures and upload them on my Pixel 7A.

Any one else had this issue? Or knows a fix?

Many Thanks!

Tim

Check your app permissions for Chrome and see if it has camera access.

That looks fine. If you open your browser and go to Settings → Site Settings → Camera, is the switch turned on? Any sites that are blocked?

Other than that I’m not really sure what else to check.

That looks fine too. That’s all I can think of unless there is something specific to the Pixel that I don’t know about.

The Pixel is known for its latest stock android version and frequent updates. Perhaps a new android security thing? But I don’t know where to look.

Thanks for the support anyways!
