Third party Camera apps that use HDR+

I have tried searching but couldn't find. Is there a list of 3rd party apps that use HDR+ in 8.1?
The only one I've read about is Instagram.

No video calling after enabling camera 2 api ??

so i enabled camera 2 api on RN5 pro to use gcam or other camera apps for better pictures but it disables my video calling feature on all the other apps like whatsapp , snapchat , Instagram ,etc . currently i'm on Lineage os 15.1 .
any solutiion for this would be very helpful which allow me to use camera 2 api as well as video calling is not broken with it.
thanks in advance.

Camera patch for miui

Hi, I wanna know if there is any patch out there( and works on miui) that fixes front and back camera in external apps like instagram or snapchat to make it smoother.
I'm currently on havoc and i have noticed that on 3rd party apps, the camera works much better than on miui.

Face unlock failed / Camera is in use

Hello there,
Recently after updating my OnePlus 7t to open beta 3 I've noticed a strange issue with the cameras. About 2 hours after every reboot camera related features start malfunctioning. I can't use face unlock, because "camera is being used by other apps", I can neither use the stock camera app because I get a toast notification saying "the camera is in use". The main back and front camera seems to be working in every other app like snapchat, gcam (although telephoto and ultrawide don't work on gcam). After reboot everything goes back to normal for some time.
I tried:
- cleaning data of all camera services and the camera app itself and face unlock app
- re-adding my face model
- uninstalling AUX camera magisk fix (which enables telephoto and ultrawide to work in gcam)
Is anyone else having this issue? Iwould love to solve this problem without reverting back to open beta 2, as it lacks some features I like in OB3. Thanks in advance for help!

I am facing the same issue with the latest beta update? Got any fix for this?
Are you sure you dont have some app spying on you. Probably using the camera thats why its being reported in use
It's caused by GCam. Not sure about stock OOS cam.

I doubt it, as the issue is only in stock Oxygen OS apps (camera, face unlock). My theory is that they use some camera service made by Oneplus which has broke in my phone. Other apps, such as Snapchat or Gcam do not utilise such service, and the main cameras work just fine in those apps (telephoto and ultrawide don't work, because they propably must be accesed via this service). But it's just my theory
