I always accidentally open the camera! Disabling this feature made a huge difference for me. Thanks for the guide!
I tried following the steps to turn off the camera switch, but it didn’t work. Is there something I might be missing?
Make sure you’re going through the Accessibility settings. Sometimes the menu can be a bit tricky to navigate.
I’m a little confused about the part where you mention the 'Back Tap' option. Does disabling it affect other features, or is it just the camera?
