Camera

Moto Camera 3, the stock camera app on Moto phones launched from 2020 on, with Quick Capture, portrait and pro modes. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.

What it does

Moto Camera 3 is the built-in camera on Moto phones launched from 2020, with Quick Capture by twisting the wrist, portrait blur, pro mode and video features, and Motorola updates it through Google Play. Phones launched in 2025 and later use Moto Camera Pro instead. It runs when you open it or launch it with a gesture.

Also shown as Moto Camera 3.

If you disable it

The stock camera, its gesture shortcut and Motorola's camera modes go away. Other camera apps still work, usually with less processing.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.motorola.camera3

adb shell pm enable com.motorola.camera3

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.motorola.camera3

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.motorola.camera3

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.

Data and battery

Uses the cameras and microphone while open, and location only if you turn on photo location tags.
