An app is requesting to use my camera in order to take a picture in-app. How can I bypass this and serve the app an already existing picture in the gallery rather than having to take a new picture in-app? Thanks!

You may try to disable camera permission for that app. But I am not sure that the app will accept an already existing picture in the gallery.

Download size < 0.15 MB. But also accurate enough, ad-free & free.

Disallowing the permission would probably work for the issue or else there might be an option to just exit that step while using application.

If you need a precise answer, provide the name of the app so that one can make use of it and help you solve your issue.

Thank you for all of the replies. It's an app that wants me to take a selfie for verificatio but I'm not interested in giving up my privacy. If someone reckons he or she can bypass this via a rooted phone or an emulator like MEmu then I'd be ore than happy to pay for a work-around. PM me if you're interested and I'll send you the app details :)

TL;DR: Will pay someone to show me how to inject pictures from the gallery to the live camera feed.

Unfortunately this is not possible without rooting the device. Had it been so easy, nobody would have used Android because of security issues in Apps.

But interested to know if anybody has a possible way to do this.
