We find using a third party camera that stamps location and time data on the image itself to be very very helpful. Currently the only solution I can find is to use one of these apps (Solocator, for example) to snap a few photos, outside of field maps, and then attach these images to the feature being collected in a manual way, rather than just taking a picture right from field maps. This works okay, but slows down the process of data collection significantly.</P><P>It would be great for the field maps team to build in some sort of ability to select a different camera app to work internally within the field maps data collection environment. Is this possible?</P> Mon, 13 Jun 2022 12:02:47 GMT ajevans429 2022-06-13T12:02:47Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-ideas/add-ability-to-select-alternative-camera-app-for/idi-p/1182265 <P>As far as I can tell, there is no way to change the default camera app in an iOS device as you can with android.

Better yet, enable similar features Solocator provides directly within the&nbsp; Field Maps camera.</P> Mon, 13 Jun 2022 12:56:00 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-ideas/add-ability-to-select-alternative-camera-app-for/idc-p/1182281#M763 lah 2022-06-13T12:56:00Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-ideas/add-ability-to-select-alternative-camera-app-for/idc-p/1659820#M2420 <P>Just adding a comment to say I am also interested in this capability, it sounds like it has not been added yet.</P> Wed, 22 Oct 2025 22:18:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-ideas/add-ability-to-select-alternative-camera-app-for/idc-p/1659820#M2420 MikeEtterGIS 2025-10-22T22:18:05Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-ideas/add-ability-to-select-alternative-camera-app-for/idc-p/1704161#M2708 <P>this would be very valuable for us too</P> Mon, 25 May 2026 13:39:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-ideas/add-ability-to-select-alternative-camera-app-for/idc-p/1704161#M2708 AnnaJose 2026-05-25T13:39:20Z
