Hi there,

 

Does anyone recognize this issue?

 

Since the update of June 13th I've noticed that if I take a picture using 3rd party apps like whatsapp, facebook messenger or snapchat the picture comes out a lot darker then in the frame after focusing.

 

When you focus on a dark area, brightness is automatically corrected (increased in this case). But when I snap the picture the actual phote that is taken is a lot darker. Almost as if the levels are reset or even darkened.

 

If I use the Samsung camera all is like before; the picture comes out the same as when focused.

 

TY!

 

*UPDATE*

Samsung's (safety) update of July 13th didn't fix it

Have to admit, this is the first time since owning an Android device, I've considered going back to IOS.  Find this kind of bug and the extreme lack of urgency to fix it extremely poor

As for the link above, thank you Olivier17.

We just have to send emails to every appmaker with this issue?

Goodbye android, hello IOS.

I think the moderator did not understand the issue.

 

But I just replied to that particular moderator with a more expanded description of the problem.

I hope the/a moderator is going to reply.
