Google Camera 8.0 APK | GCam 8.0 APK Mod
So let’s now get straight to the point. There are two different variants of the Google Camera App that we have shared here. The first one is the Google Camera 8.0 APK that is taken straight from Pixel 5. Since the device is launched with Android 11 out of the box, this camera app will only be supported on Pixel devices running the latest Android OS only.
This is where the open-source ecosystem of Android comes into play. A popular GCam developer, cstark27, has modded the Google Camera that you could install on devices running the older Android build as well. In this guide, we have shared the download link for both APKs. Proceed with the one that meets your requirements.
How to Install Google Camera
If you are installing apps outside of Play Store (Google Camera 8.0/8.1/8.2 APK from APKMirror or GCam 8.0/8.1/8.2 Mod), then you will have to enable Unknown Sources on your device. Furthermore, the camera app on APKMirror is uploaded as APK Bundles. On the other hand, the GCam 8.0/8.1/8.2 Mod has been uploaded as Split APKS.
To deal with both these file types, you could download the App Manager from the Play Store. Then install it and launch the app. Navigate to the desired Google Camera APK file and select it. Finally, hit the Install button and that’s it. Along the same lines, you could download the Split APKs Installer (SAI) to deal with Split APKS.
So this was all from this guide regarding the latest Google Camera 8.2 APK and the GCam 8.2 APK Mod. What are your views about this camera app?
