Feature Request: Direct Photo/Video/Audio attachments while staying in app (API calls to camera, sound recorder, video camera) instead of multistep separate apps
Created by: Dostoi
Not being able to do this is the only thing that's missing from SMSSecure. This issue is a duplicate of this one from textsecure (https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure/issues/520). There's some link to help to do it in this issue.
I understand that the developer of textsecure wanted to find a way to do it safely in the app before implementing it but I don't think that waiting is a good idea. I don't know what you think of it but I'll still explain why I think it would be best to do it now even if there is no safe way to do it.
Because right now, if you want to directly take and send a picture to a friend you can't with the app so you have to either take the picture with your phone then send it with the app or use the default messaging app of your phone to take it and send it directly. Either way the picture will be taken with the default camera app of the phone and stored on the phone in an unsecured way.
So the only option left for the user are unsecured one, or at least that I know of. So I think it would be best to still make it possible to the user to directly take picture and all. Maybe put it as an option with a warning on the unsecured way (I know you don't like option but I think it would be best to have a warning at some point).
Thanks for those who'll take the time to read all this ^^
