Bring it!! I've been running 14 for a few weeks now... In fact I updated to the latest beta just yesterday. My camera app is still 8.9, however. How to I get this version? ๐Ÿค”

There's also an APKMirror link at the end of the linked article, but personally I'd wait for it to officially hit the Play Store.

You have more patience than I do. ๐Ÿ˜œ I'm not sure I trust APKMirror...but for some reason I don't feel that way about the Telegram channel. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The creator of that Telegram channel is based in Russia, so do with that what you will ๐Ÿ‘€

APKmirror only hosts APKs that matches the vendor digital signature, you won't find modified stuff there. So in terms of safety it's as safe as the Play Store itself.

We make sure that the cryptographic signatures for new versions of all previously published apps match the original ones, which means we know if uploaded APKs were signed by the real devs or someone pretending to be them.

So the big change is that they flipped two buttons?

I wish they'd add the option to turn off video stabilisation without digging deep into the settings. It is very useful but when you have a tripod or other means of stabilisation it causes an unnecessary zoom
