My favorite App for blocking all my Android's Cameras. - I've tried various others over the past few years and this one, by far, works best. - We all saw that revealing photo of Mark Zuckerberg standing in front of that piece of cellophane tape was covering his computer's webcam. - OK then, enough said. - I would honestly recommend this Camera Blocking App to ANYONE! - It's not just easy to implement, it's actually flawless. - Thanks to the Developer.

On all of my devices Lens cap flawlessly turns off the camera which I have done to block spyware. The camera has been used to undermine people's privacy and even cause them harm. It is unfortunate that Google has chosen to undermine our already threatened privacy. May they're is a portly published exploit in Android 11 even though Google will deny it till they're blue in the face.

Good app, the camera app, the Google Lens app and the scanner app all started malfunctioning and it's all because of this app. It's not a problem but admin privilege. Camera and Scanner were showing errors but Lens was having another problem which made it take forever to load. And if you want security, install Smart Lockscreen Protector to block the notification area, in which there is the quick settings menu. Then lock the phone. Then lock this app using an app lock.

Finally! An app that meets my requirement. If there was a way to find if hackers aren't able to peep through the camera while using this app, that would make it even greater.

About this app

NOTE: This app is not compatible with Android 11
In Android 11, Google removed the ability to disable cameras using Device Administrator (the method Lens Cap uses) in favor of enterprise Work Profiles. Sadly, this marks the end of Lens Cap. If you think you've found a work-around, please let me know or submit a PR to the project on Github!

Lens Cap is a simple and modern app that disables your phone or tablet's camera.

It is useful for job-related camera restrictions and blocks apps from using the camera without your permission.

Open Source!
You can view the source code at http://github.com/percula/LensCap

Permissions:
This app uses the Device Administrator permission. Specifically, it uses the "Disable Cameras" permission within Device Administrator. This permission allows the application to have system level access in order to disable and re-enable the camera on the installed device. Lens Cap does not use this permission for any other reason. More information on this permission and how it is implemented can be found on the Google Developer website: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/admin/device-admin.html

Lens Cap also uses the In-App-Purchase permission to determine whether the user has donated. Donations are completely optional and do not add any additional functionality to the app. The ability to donate was added because some kind users requested the ability to donate :-).

Note to Custom Android ROM Users:
There is a bug within some custom Android ROMS including OxygenOS and LineageOS that prevents Lens Cap from operating properly. If you experience an issue, please contact me and also file a bug report with the ROM. Make sure to mention there is an issue with the ROM's implementation of the Device Administration API.
