"Take Photo" app in my app drawer??

I just noticed an icon in my app drawer called "Take Photo".
When you launch it the stock camera pops up. What is unusual though, is that the small square in the bottom left of the screen (in portrait mode) that usually shows the most recent photo taken is blank. And, if you press that button it doesn't show any photos.
If I launch the normal camera app, the recent photo is shown in that square...
Has this icon always been there, or did another app install it?
It doesn't appear in the list of apps in the app manager.
Thanks,
Rich

You have FriendCaster Pro installed that adds that icon to the app drawer.

It's probably a facebook shortcut icon.

Thanks. Yes I do have Friendcaster installed. Why do all of these apps keep adding extra icons.
At least the recent FB update removed the extra camera and messager icons when they realised people don't like redundant icons.

How do I turnoff geotagging of pictures?

Is there a way to turnoff geotagging of pictures taken by my HTC One?

Open settings menu in camera, and find the "camera options" header, and disable.

Is there a way to get a more basic photo gallery on this device

I was curious to know if there's a mod or port for a regular more easily known gallery such as what we are used to with Samsungs or other HTC devices ...nothing like the layout we have now...something that just takes you to the pictures rather than having to go through folders to find what u want .
Or a way to delete the gallery from the system and make another the default?

Have you seen the option on the top left of the gallery to change to album view? And then click menu -> show/hide albums, and select all photos and all videos and deserve everything else.

[Q] Delete Images From Camera Gallery

I've seen the ability to delete pictures from the camera gallery simply by sliding to right and swiping up or down to remove the picture. On my Moto X when I slide to the right to open the pictures I've recently taken with my camera I get a prompt that asks me "Complete action using" and lists the Gallery App or the Photos App. Does anyone know how to get rid of this prompt, I just want to be able to take a picture, slide to the right, and with a quick swipe up delete the picture. Thanks.

Yeah that worked, well that and also zooming out to bring up the "card style" that lets you swipe away the pictures
Thanks.

you sound new to the android world, so a helpful FYI:
whenever you install an application that does a similar function to another application, android will ask you what app you want to use and if you want it to be the default app for that function (once vs. always). you can always clear these settings in the app settings menu.
example: if you download firefox, android will ask you if you want to use chrome or firefox.

Setting wallpaper for screens with photos from gallery (not logging into HTC apps)

Hello, I am trying to set wallpapers but my phone won't let me use photos in gallery to set it. What should I do? I went to HTC website and followed but it still won't let me do it and instead I have to login htc connect which I don't really want to do.

To set the photo to the wallpaper:
Come to the gallery, select a photo for the wallpaper, open it, click on the three dots, choose to install both the gallery and choose (optional filter expression can) galachku click on the upper right corner. enjoy
