Camera on Samsung A26 5G

Hello,

Most messaging apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, etc. allow you to make video calls.

During this call, simply select the icon to use the phone's rear camera. It is often represented by two circular arrows with a filled circle in the middle.

To guide you better, could you tell me which app you are using to communicate with this person?

Hello

I don't use any particular app, it’s during a normal conversation with my Samsung, I didn’t know that you had to go through a specific app so that my caller, incoming call, could see through my camera, what is the method.

Thanks, Jaco34

You have a wide range of apps to choose from.

On the vast majority of Android phones, such as Samsung, there is a pre-installed app called Google Meet (formerly Google Duo).

You simply need to place your call directly from the app. Here is a guide on how to configure and place a call with Google Meet.

A Google account is however required.

If you prefer an alternative, you have WhatsApp, for example. This time, you will need to download the app from the Play Store or the Galaxy Store.

You will need to create an account by registering your phone number. Once your account is activated, here is how to place a WhatsApp call.

The important point is that you must have the same app as your contact in order to call them. To make it easier, ask them if they already use one of these apps, then configure it on your phone.

These apps use the Internet and do not go through the telephone network. Make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi connection preferably during your calls. You can use mobile data (4G/5G), but this can quickly consume your data allowance, depending on your plan.

Also, when you make your video call, the front camera (selfie) will be enabled by default. You will need to select the dedicated icon at call time to use the rear camera and film your TV screen.

Hello

Your response is complete, very clear and quick.

Thank you very much
