Launching native camera app using Launch

The main use case is to save a picture to the device's image gallery. I hoped it would happen using the Add Picture control but it doesn't. Any ideas?

    That's bad 😞 Anyway to launch the phone's native camera app like how we can launch the mail/call apps?

    Nowhere that I can find. I've found HTML that launches the Camera, but it's the same as PowerApps where it just uploads images to the control doesn't save to camera roll. Can't find any Non-HTTP protocol either for camera.
