I have a dumb question I don't think the stock camera has this option but is it possible to save pictures taken from the stock camera app in a smaller size?

I mean it's great and all that I have this 16mp shooter but if you're just snapping a quick reference pic to share with friends sometimes 5mp or less will do.

Cameras used to come with some selection of small medium and large or quality settings which is effectively a size reduction I don't see this option anymore.

It's not a huge deal but it does mean that I get into the habit of dropping the size before I send things with another image editor.

I found Google camera apk had this option..

Well, the stock cam won't let you choose resolution as far as I know, but if you really wish to save a couple of MBs you can take photos in a different aspect ratio (16:9 or 1:1 which are cropped versions of the main 4:3 ratio).

Although, I must admit the solution posted above (Google cam) will definitely serve you better. Cheers!
