App Description Lens Cap is a simple and modern app that disables your phone or tablet's camera.
It is useful for job-related camera restrictions and blocks apps from using the camera without your permission.
Open Source! You can view the source code at http://github.com/percula/LensCap
Permissions: This app uses the Device Administrator permission. Specifically, it uses the "Disable Cameras" permission within Device Administrator. This permission allows the application to have system level access in order to disable and re-enable the camera on the installed device. Lens Cap does not use this permission for any other reason. More information on this permission and how it is implemented can be found on the Google Developer website: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/admin/device-admin.html
Lens Cap also uses the In-App-Purchase permission to determine whether the user has donated. Donations are completely optional and do not add any additional functionality to the app. The ability to donate was added because some kind users requested the ability to donate :-).
Note to Custom Android ROM Users: There is a bug within some custom Android ROMS including OxygenOS and LineageOS that prevents Lens Cap from operating properly. If you experience an issue, please contact me and also file a bug report with the ROM. Make sure to mention there is an issue with the ROM's implementation of the Device Administration API.
Recent changes: Add warnings for Android 10 and 11 users.

I like the app. It works fine with all apps. But it is not working (means unable to disable camera) with any cloned apps. Apart from that this is great effort from lens cap team...!❤️.

Love this app. Too bad that Google is brutally forcing us to use their software and not allowing Len Cap to work on Android 10 & 11 versions by not allowing Lens Cap needed permission. Google is so close, pushing the boundaries of monopolizing the Internet that its redeculas. They need more and larger fines. I never believed in a "New World Order", then along came Google (and FB)!

It can control camera in duals app, like WhatsApp or any other dual app. Developer should improve it, rest all is good.

Was so excited to try out this app because my life is fraught with security issues and when I activate it and hit the button to turn the cap on, NOTHING. Probably phishing spam. Don't install. Be smarter than I was.

Do not use with Android 11. Your camera will be inaccessible.
