Whatsapp on my telephone recently was updated.

Before when you want to attach a picture, you could tap on the screen for focus, let the camera sort the focus out and then it would automatically take a picture with sharpest focus. Ideal for me. :)

But now when i tap, it just focuses and i have to press manually on a virtual button on the touchscreen for the photo.
This means that often it is out of focus again. Since i am left handed. And turning the camera upside down to get the button on the left makes for pictures that are sometimes up and sometimes downward orientated.
I looked through the settings but could not find a way to make it work as it was.
Is there some hidden setting ?

My workaround for now is to take a picture with the camera app and then use the gallery option from whatsapp to add the picture in.

But it would be nice if i could just tap once for autofocus and shot while in whatsapp.
