Maybe someone could make a magisk module or something to disable the front camera from popping up?

Is there's any possible way to disable front camera on android phones? Thanks.
solution one : broke your front camera
solution two : try Lens Cap - Disable Camera no root require but it will disable both cameras
When I use the camera app, the image seems normal, but when using snapchat the front camera is "zoomed in" I guess. Is there anyway to fix this?
Anytime that I attempt to open the standard [non-wide angle] front camera, I receive an unknown error warning (see screenshot). Have reset phone, etc.
Sony test utility shows error in standard front cam, however the wide-angle front cam functions normally. Rather than send the phone in for repair, I'm wondering if it's possible to have the front camera open on the wide-angle by default?
Unfortunately, once the camera app is open, the switch to wide angle is not functional, so there's no way that I can activate the wide-angle front camera. Any ideas? Thanks

Is a bug
It is not a bug. I do not have this problem at all. First.......
-Tell me what mods you have install
-tell me what you have for root and if magisk what modules
The camera error is being caused by something you have flashed or modded. Worst case scenario your camera is broken

I think the camera module is broken, as the phone is unrooted and unmodded, running the latest official stock for the region (Customized US). I might not bother to send it in for repair, as I don't use the front cameras much, anyway.
BUT- Is there any way to have the camera app open the wide-angle front camera by default? This would circumvent the problem. Thanks.

Probably not unless you know to edit an app and recompile the app. But good luck cause Sonys camera is tied into the framework so mess something and ur back to square one
Recently got the Mi Mix 3 and having some quality of life issues with the camera.
Firstly it doesnt seem to play well with Snapchat, in that if Snapchat is set to currently use the front camera the notification "Push the screen down to open camera" does not go away, so even if I am just chatting or something, that is there. Any ideas how to remove it?
I am also wanting to leave the slider gestures on so that when I slide the phone down it will open the front camera in the camera app. However again this does not play ball with snapchat or whats app, it will automatically open the camera app even if another app is trying to take a photo.
Any ideas how to fix either issues?
For me the notification goes away after a few seconds if I don't touch the phone
I keep the camera orientation on the back camera for those kind of apps. Then it won't bother me until I need to use it. But if you want to keep it on the front ig it's something we just have to deal with. At least it goes away though.
I also have my slider settings to open the camera and it works fine when I have other camera apps open. Just need to make sure you've turned to front camera in app before you slide.

Yeah I have got used to it. Do you have your slider options set to "Take a selfie"? When I do that even if Whatsapp is on front camera and slide down, it opens the camera app itself.

Is there actually a method (with root or flashing ofcourse) to get rid of it altogether?

Yeah they're on 'Take a selfie ". And I just checked that out on my Whatsapp and it opens the camera within the app. I don't know why your device seems to be doing that.
I have to login to my bank account and I need to scan a photoTAN image but the app by default uses the main camera which is broken, is there any way to make the wide screen back camera as the default one to be used by apps on my phone?
Any ideas anyone?
I'm also searching for the same issue but no answer
This post may give you an idea:
Change default rear camera?
Hey guys, My main rear camera is broken and I was wondering if my default camera can be changed to the wide-angle lens, because the wide angle lens works fine. The phone is a Moto X4 and it has a dual rear camera set up. So my question is...
