Camera flash lag with Whatsapp

[Dan Morfee]

Hi all.



Using Whatsapp my camera has just lost coordination of taking a photo and flashing at the same time on both front and rear cameras, so all photos are taken without the flash effectively.



Normal camera app and flash working fine.



Any ideas?

Now realised Whatsapp video recording sound quality has suddenly become very poor as well.

Again the regular camera app works fine, seems to be a software failure with the Whatsapp camera?

Reinstalling hasn't solved it.

I just discovered this as well. Extremely annoying as I use Whatsapps inbuilt camara a lot. I haven't been able to find any solution to this issue yet unfortunately.

It seems as though it's definitely Whatsapp itself though, so hopefully it will be fixed.

Use the camear app, not the WhatsApp app. Then upload the picture or video.
