Using an iPhone? See Allow camera and photo access on iPhone.
LotJitsu asks to use your camera the first time its camera opens, usually the first time you add a lot. When your phone asks, allow it (for example, While using the app).
If you see "Camera access was blocked"
If you refused, or camera access was turned off, the camera screen says the viewfinder can't open and shows two buttons.
- Tap Open Settings. Your phone opens LotJitsu's app settings.
- Open LotJitsu's permissions (often Permissions), choose Camera, and allow it. The names vary by phone maker and Android version.
- Go back to LotJitsu, open the catalog, and tap Add Lot again.
- If the message is still there, close LotJitsu fully and open it again.
On Android, the phone may simply ask again the next time the camera opens instead of showing this message.
Keep working without the camera
Tap Use Device Photos on the same screen. Your phone's photo picker opens; choose one or more photos and confirm. They are added just like photos you take, and the rest of the lot works the same way.
Photo library access
When you add photos from your phone, a photo picker opens and LotJitsu receives only the photos you choose. If your phone asks for permission to reach your photos or storage, allow it so you can pick photos. The names vary by phone maker and Android version.
Good to know
- LotJitsu never asks for your microphone or your location.
- Notifications are a separate permission. LotJitsu asks for it only when you turn on push notifications in the app, never from the camera.
- If the camera is allowed but stays on "Starting camera…" and then says it didn't start, tap Try Again. If that doesn't work, close LotJitsu fully and open it again. This sometimes happens the first time the camera opens after an update.
