There’s a lot to love about Android and one area that the operating system truly excels in is the level of customization it affords users.

Simple things, such as the ability to change the keyboard and Home Screen Launcher on your Android device, gives users the ability to imbue their phones with personality.

As we mentioned in How to change your iOS 8 Keyboard it took Apple a good few years to catch up with Google in regard to this.

For users who enjoy this sort of personalisation of their phones- who doesn’t- the ability to change and play with your camera is an even better innovation than the keyboard.

Sure you use the keyboard more, but from the beginner ‘Instagram’ photographer who likes to mess with filters and effects to the more professional, serious photographers out there, the ability to change your camera is a seriously fun touch.

It’s also a rather simple process to implement; so don’t worry if you don’t like your new camera you only need to uninstall it to go back to using the original one.

So here’s how to change the camera on your Android phone:

• Open Play Store -> Search ‘Camera’ -> Install whichever camera it is you want to use -> Once installed simple click the app to use your new camera

If you would like to make the new camera your default camera:

• Settings -> Apps Menu -> All Apps -> Camera -> Clear Default -> Select Default -> Click on the app you want to default and press always

If you don’t wish to make the new camera your default choice, simply open it through the app on the home screen instead of following the steps above.

Now you’re all set to go with your new camera, so get out there and take some snaps worthy of the pros!
