Google Messages has a camera flash problem, and nobody knows why
Another day, another Google Messages bug.
Google Messages, the default messaging app for Android devices, appears to have a camera flash problem that has left users puzzled. The issue relates to the timing of the LED flash when users attempt to capture photos within chats. Some users report that the flash fails to activate at all, even when manually toggled, although it operates normally in other camera applications.
The problem has been ongoing, with similar complaints surfacing over a month ago. In the digital age where messaging apps facilitate the exchange of images and videos, Google Messages, in addition to apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, offers a camera interface to facilitate this process. However, a user on Reddit using a Verizon-branded Galaxy S24 Ultra has found that Google Messages is struggling with this basic function.
The flash timing seems to be off, triggering before the photo is actually captured, resulting in dark images.
