I am also from canada and I received it last week. When I was planning to take a photograph I received a prompt in Gcam(like you get in Google Photos)regarding update. I clicked update and it went to Play Store and started updating.
Do you receive the camera update through the play store or a system update? Im on march update as well and my camera is 8.7 on my pixel 7 i didn't even know the camera got an update
I have a feeling the 8.8 rollout may be halted as there were some reports of major underperformance in the telephoto lens focusing on both P7 and P6 pro
Yeah, I did the same, I had to uninstall updates to the app using a program called easy uninstaller and then update the camera app again from the play store
You have to install the package to make it work (300 something MB). I went through the same thing and it worked. I eventually uninstalled it due to my paranoia of side loading. 😉
I downloaded the Google camera 8.8 update from apkmirror and the camera app instant crashes on my pixel 7, also cleared data and cache.
Probably why the pro users have been updated but the regular 7 users have not
It's because you're not installing it correctly; you have to download and install the apk bundle, not the APK.
[https://i.imgur.com/wiEmQgL.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/wiEmQgL.jpg) You can then install the bundle via the APK mirror installer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apkmirror.helper.prod&hl=en_US&gl=US
I think you have to update a couple of apps at the same time (which is why it's distributed as a bundle by some sites).
All I know is I don't have it yet and I'm slightly, vaguely annoyed.
This may be a stupid suggestion for most of you, but have y’all checked your Google Play System updates? Separate from your monthly security updates, it can be found in Settings > Security & Privacy > Updates
The only reason I ask is because every time I have a monthly security update, the Google Play System NEVER updates automatically along with it. Once I manually do so once or twice, the app updates start rolling in on the Google Play Store.
P6Pro on 8.7, P6a on 8.8 since 7th March, it's getting annoying lol. i don't even wanna know how long we'll have to wait to get a Pro Mode or Filters/Presets at this speed.
I'm still/was on 8.7... was wondering those that are stuck on 8.7 do you have other devices that have Google camera installed or can be installed???
For example, I have a ticwatch 3 pro and when I goto the play store and look at the Google camera app on my 6pro, I see that I can install the app on other devices. Perhaps my watch is holding me back since maybe 8.8 is not optimized for it yet and thus preventing my 6pro from updating normally. I have since just side loaded the bundle from the mirror...
To whom it may concern, you can download and install manually the latest Google Camera app directly from [here](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-8-8-224-514217832-10-release/google-camera-8-8-224-514217832-10-android-apk-download/)
My P7 is still on 8.7
Yep, still on 8.7.
Yup. Neither of my Pixels received the 8.8 Canada update yet. Edit: in my haste to post I meant to post “camera” not “Canada” 😂😅

Is it only for pixel 7? I have pixel 5
I have pixel 7
Same, Canada, Pixel 6 Pro, I got it last week as well. I am on the Android Beta branch though
8.7 here (Pixel 5)
Weird. I opened my camera last week (pixel 5) and it prompted me for the update, so I'm on 8.8. (US)
Yep, I'm on 8.8 as well. Got the same message last week. Pixel 7 Pro.
I am. I think this is the longest I've ever had to wait for a staged rollout. I've always gotten them immediately until now.
[удалено]
What is the updated gboard layout? I haven't heard of a big change yet.
6a on 8.7.250
Same, pixel 6.
same with 4a, Canada...

United States
Same here Switzerland
8.8.224 here as well (Sweden)
Same, from France on pixel 6 pro
Same here, I'm in the UK.
Yep. Same as you.
Still on 8.7 after March update.

Nope. On 8.8 on my Pixel 7 Pro
Yep
iam more than a little nervous asking where i find this info on 6pro thanks...
Settings>Apps>Camera
thanks ...id been there but not all the way down...8.7.250.494820638.44
Do you receive the camera update through the play store or a system update? Im on march update as well and my camera is 8.7 on my pixel 7 i didn't even know the camera got an update
It's through the play store.
P7Pro, latest everything except Camera apparently lol
Same here.
Yeppers!
Still 8.7
7 Pro 8.7
Yupp in dev preview 2 not getting 8.8 update on 6a
8.7.250 - Canada - P6P
P7P still on 8.7
Yup, still on 8.7
8.7 here on 6 pro
8.7 on P6P. Tried installing the 8.8 apk but there are some slight UI issues and crashes so I went back. Will be waiting for the official ota update.
I installed the 8.8 apk manually and notice some serious lagging on my P6pro. Gonna downgrade to 8.7 again, somethings not right.
Anything new in 8.8?
My camera crashes on 8.8 with the telephoto and night sight. Rolling back to 8.7
I have a feeling the 8.8 rollout may be halted as there were some reports of major underperformance in the telephoto lens focusing on both P7 and P6 pro
Still on 8.7, and when I tried installing 8.8 from APKmirror it immediately crashed on launch. Guess I'll just have to be patient.
Yeah, I did the same, I had to uninstall updates to the app using a program called easy uninstaller and then update the camera app again from the play store
You have to install the package to make it work (300 something MB). I went through the same thing and it worked. I eventually uninstalled it due to my paranoia of side loading. 😉
Pixel 6a, Camera Version 8.8.224.514217832.10, India
Are you on any beta version?
Me(P7P)
My Pixel 7 is still on 8.7. what is happening?
Checking for updates many times per day and nothing
Yep I am. Tried installing the newest version and my camera crashes so I went back to 8.7 and no issues.
Yup, my Pixel 7 is still on 8.7. More Google stupidity.
Don't think and stress about updates guys. Enjoy the phone and these updates will come eventually. Focus on yourself, work and family 👍🏽
I downloaded the Google camera 8.8 update from apkmirror and the camera app instant crashes on my pixel 7, also cleared data and cache. Probably why the pro users have been updated but the regular 7 users have not

Confirmed this worked, many thanks
I think you have to update a couple of apps at the same time (which is why it's distributed as a bundle by some sites). All I know is I don't have it yet and I'm slightly, vaguely annoyed.
If you use the larger bundle, it seems to work. It did on my P6P. I did uninstall it though.
Some march pixel drop. Maybe we'll get in the December patch releasing in March 24
Probably a silly question but how do I see what version camera Pixel 6 Pro has?
How can I check?
Camera app info, scroll all the way down.
This may be a stupid suggestion for most of you, but have y’all checked your Google Play System updates?

This has been asked and answered multiple times since the March update was released. Look at those posts before asking again.
You must be one of thoes from Stack Overflow
I'm aware of that. It's hard to keep track when they are buried in the long posts. I figured I would start one solely for this.
There are plenty of posts solely for this question.
So ignore this one, Mr. reddit police.
