Google Messages is addressing user complaints about its recent redesign by allowing users to access the camera and gallery separately, adding standalone options in the menu, although the default still opens the combined interface. This change aims to improve user experience following feedback on the new interface.
Apple's upcoming headset, Vision Pro, will not expose its cameras to third-party apps that request access on iPhone and iPad. Outward-facing cameras are locked down, while inward-facing cameras work only if a virtual Persona is created to represent the user. Apple typically opens up elements of its hardware and software when a product matures, ensuring that opening hardware access does not compromise user privacy. Other companies like Meta and HTC match Apple's approach, while ByteDance only allows camera access on its Enterprise headset.
