Hi everyone,First, I’d like to thank the Samsung Community for the continuous support and for providing useful solutions.I've been using the "Samsung Modes and Routines" feature on the newer Samsung phones, which allows you to customize your usage by automating tasks without manual intervention when certain conditions are met.I was thinking of setting up a routine that disables the camera and microphone at all times to save battery and enhance privacy, but then only enables them automatically when I receive a call. However, I couldn't find an option to control camera and microphone access within the available actions in the routine settings.Is there any way to achieve this using routines? How can I add camera and microphone access as part of a routine action during calls?Thank you all!

It is possible but requires quite a bit of setup to achieve. Assuming you are familiar with Good Lock.
If so you'd first need RegiStar to customise your settings home so that 'Security and privacy' is at the top (or at least within the first group).
After that you'd need to install the Routines+ module and then use the 'Run a touch macro' option to record the steps to disable the camera and mic via Settings > Security and privacy > Controls and alerts > and then disable both toggles.
Save the touch action and then call it as usual as a condition via a new routine based on your parameters of choice.
The good thing about such a macro is that you can run the same again to reverse the toggles.
Hope this helps.

This is good so far but unfortunately it will not work because there is no option called end call which means it is useless because the idea is that I want to disable it all the time and activate it only when receiving a call
