I know this forum is not for Nokia 8.1 but I'm not tech savvy enough to create a new forum for it. Posting this in case someone else has the same problem and was unable to find a solution on the net.
Recently changed from Nokia 7 plus to 8.1. Whatsapp camera on 7 plus was ok but on 8.1, the pictures taken have a bright yellow tinge to them. Picture quality not as good as when using the stock camera which I could tolerate but the yellow colouring is really offputting. When you focus the Whatsapp camera on the subject, there is no colour issue - its when you take the picture, the yellow tinge appears on the picture. Reported this to Whatsapp but not sure they will act on it. However, have stumbled upon a workaround - prior to taking the picture, if you zoom in and out (I don't think you need to do too much zooming, just a bit will do), this stops the picture coming out yellow. Hope this helps others.
Attached pictures show the difference when taken using Whatsapp camera and phone camera.
