No front facing Portrait mode also no Google Camera installed in Play Store - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

I just got my Pixel 2 today and ran all the updates and my front facing camera won't do portrait mode. I can choose it but once clicked it flips to the back camera. There is also no Google Camera app downloaded or installed in the Google Play Store for my phone. I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix the issue. Any help would be great

Play store link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
More there is another thread about upgrading the camera if portrait was not available in front camera. I never had that issue though.
Found the thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3692269

Thank You!
Thank you so much that was the link the Google representative couldn't help me find. I downloaded it and everything is working fine now. You're a lifesaver!

3d photos at 5mp? (not confirmed yet) alternative 3d cam

strangest thing happened to me today. I installed lgcamera (paid version) from market and found out that you can take 3d pics with it even though it has no option about it. by swithching to the front camera (upper right second icon) and then back to the backside cam 3d mode is activated. what is more it shows that the 3d pic taken is at 5MP. the pics are 3d all right but cant check as far as resolution is concerned as I am at work and no way to send them to a pc. Anyone willing to give it a try will be most welcome. please post you results here.Even flash works fine. Maybe working with free version also. Using rushdroid atm
edit: here is one. if someone is so kind as to check resolution.but anyway we have an alternative to the stock lg camera and that matters as well. ps also working on video recording.
edit2: seems I cannot upload photo from here as it is too large a file... will post on a filesharing site when I get home

Issues with Portrait photos by Google Camera (Ported)

I am using S8+ Snapdragon variant. I've used different Google Camera ports to use Portrait Mode. They work perfectly on my phone. After taking photos a portrait effect is applied and that looks beautiful. The problem is, when the photo is opened or shared to others app the effect is gone. Can someone please explain me, what is the issue and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Recommendations for camera with portrait mode

I have a xz premium that is unrooted and recently upgraded to Pie (a bit underwhelming...). Can anyone recommend a good camera app with a portrait mode. Play store says google camera is incompatible.
Many thanks

How to fix laggy previews (buffer fix) in the Google Camera 8.1 in an Oppo a91?

I recently bought an Oppo A91 and is amazing. Its camera is good but I wanted to take pics at night. I installed several Google Camera ports but the best one overall is the MCG one:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix
Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
However, all picture camera modes (Night Sight, Portrait, and Camera) look laggy. The previewer is not smooth at all as you can see in the video.
Your browser is not able to display this video.
Furthermore, I tested several ports and each one that worked had the same issue. It doesn't happen when you're using the video camera, panoramic, or 360 only when you want to take normal pics. Also, I disabled the Google Lens and didn't change it at all.
I read in some forums about a Buffer issue but I don't know what I can change. Generally speaking, the camera works well. You can take amazing pics but it looks laggy. I just would like to know if it can be fixed. Thanks for your ideas.
hello, it's been 1 year since you posted your problem and today I also had the same problem with you, have you found any solution for this problem?
What is you display hz Rate 120 or above ......
Try down grading your resolution and then try ....
