android now lets you disable the camera on an OS level. Not quite as good as hardware, but close.
Is this new with Android 14?
No it's been around for a couple of years
Do you mean the sensors toogle that you can enable from the developer options?
Or is there actually a separate feature for this?
No a seperate feature. It should be in your quick toggles but may depend on your oem
Oooh, I see what you mean, just found it. Would be cool if it allowed for more granular control though, so it would prompt to enable access just for the app you want to use, and not globally
Like camera permissions? We've had those for over a decade
Well damn, I bring honour to my username.
