Stable GCam Versions

About this list:

Versions known to work on many phones. They may not be the best APKs, but they're more likely to work on your device. Useful for new users.

Check the "how to use" page to learn how to find a good version, how to install it, and compatibility information. If you need help, check the frequent questions page or find a forum thread or group for your phone. Files are grouped by GCam version (differences between versions).

You'll find more than one file below. Don't panic! Try the first one, if it doesn't work, try the second (and so on).

Notes:

  • For Android 11 and above. See the section below for GCam 8.1-8.5 if you're on Android 9 or 10 or want more features.
  • To avoid issues when seeing pictures from inside GCam, install the Google Photos app.
  • If there's a "config" link next to the file, follow it and see if a config is available for your phone.
  • Some releases have more than one apk. When in doubt, install the first one. (learn more here)

Nothing works?

If none of the versions linked above work on your device, it's possible that regular GCam doesn't work on your phone. Test one of the Camera Go Mods instead.
