How to always open the primary rear camera by default when launching the Camera app?
(05/17/2022 @ 9:30 PM CDT)

Model name:          Galaxy S22 Ultra
Model number:      SM-S908U1
Software version:  Android Version 12

The camera always opens to the last used camera, front or rear, instead of opening the primary rear camera by default.

Is there a question here? You answered it yourself.

Yeah, this is not very clear, I would maybe ask for more clarification? I think you have to leave the rear camera when you quit so it is there and ready when you open? Is that the right solution? Not quite sure. Maybe there is another option somewhere else, don't you think? I dunno, maybe, I am just trying to help by giving away suggestions for you.

Is there a way to always open the primary rear camera "by default" when launching the Camera app instead of the last used mode?

Unfortunately no. The only thing that you can set as default, is the Camera Mode.

Click on the Camera > Settings > Scroll down to see Settings to Keep, but that doesn't do what you want. It's only the last used mode - ie: Video rather than Photo mode.

Hi Johnrtx94, it is normal. The camera opens to the last used camera (front or rear).

Hello,

I know it's normal and I hate it.

Is there a way to always open the primary rear camera by default when launching the Camera app instead of the last used mode?

By the way, you realize that you are posting on Samsung Members Canada, & your device is the US version?

Not that the answer will be any different if you post on the US Samsung Members site.
