Used it a lot. It was the only thing I missed after switching to iOS. Google has successfully made sure that I now have no reason to switch back.
Security seems like a pretty decent reason to switch. I stopped letting apple products on my home network out of Pegasus fears.

I'm still using Cardboard Camera. It installed on my new phone when I set up it (probably because it was on the previous device). Have you tried grabbing the apk from somewhere?
I think you can still get it right from the Google Play app store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.sam...

But as mentioned elsewhere, the official camera app does offer this functionality.
That's a shame. I don't use it a lot, but it's contributed to my photographic memories over the years. Quality was never amazing, but it could make for some fun pictures. A somewhat related feature I miss that Google dropped a while ago is Cardboard Camera. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.vr....

Cardboard Camera was a great toy. It's amazing how much more immersive that type of capture can be. Interesting to note that panoramas in the latest Google Camera app still have the option to record audio.

This effectively replaces cardboard camera. Thanks for pointing that out!
