Installed the latest version of Open Camera from Play Store, but the icon "Multiple Cameras" is missing in the GUI settings (or anywhere), what's the problem?

I've read that this issue is probably caused by "other cameras not being exposed to third-party apps", but this makes no sense as gcam does see all cameras without rooting the device.

There is one multiple camera method still to support (it's on my TODO), however there are many devices that don't expose all their cameras in the Android camera API for third party applications. There are some backdoor methods that one can do - the Google camera ports have the advantage that they're specifically written/ported for each device, but this isn't really feasible for a general application.

Not OP, but I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T (Resurrection Remix ROM A10) with Camera2 API (not sure if important) and I can't access Macro or Ultra Wide lenses.

What device is this?

Devices typically switch to macro/telephoto camera automatically when zooming in - but if not, it's not something I can add.
Can you zoom out to less than 1x? If not, this means the device doesn't expose the ultra wide camera to third party applications.
Ah, that makes sense.
No, it stops at x1. Not a big deal since I rarely used them.
Thanks for the input.
