When opening the camera you should be able to select if the front or rear camera is opened.

I agree. Coming from CrossMediaPlugin, this feature is needed !

I agree also, having big issues with selfie type page on Android :)

Also agree, it's annoying to keep switching the view when you are attaching multiple captured images.

Can everyone please clarify, Is everyone looking for the ability to:

1. See if the camera is already open on a specific device and detect which camera is being used of the two.
2. The ability to see which camera is active within the application currently and where the image was captured from?
3. The ability to change the source (Front or Rear) of the Camera?

Yeah! This feature is needed... maybe could be set in the MediaPickerOptions, some sort of:

var photo = await MediaPicker.CapturePhotoAsync(new MediaPickerOptions
{
    Title ="Please take a selfie",
    FromRear = false // or true as a default
});
