    Very few applications are able to access the native camera.

    I’m not sure this is entirely correct. I’ve used many apps which will open up the camera and allow 1 photo to be taken which then displays with a check mark to import it into the application. The photo is then deleted (I’m pretty sure).

      Are they actually accessing the camera module and using that to take the photo? Or are they taking a screenshot of the viewfinder? Historically, the latter has happened on basically every third party Android app.

        I’m fairly sure it’s the former and not the latter, but I may be wrong. It seems to be a different interface to the usual camera app and usually takes similar quality photos to the regular camera (before post processing anyway)
