Have you tried using the Camera & Media blocks? > **[Camera & Media](https://docs.thunkable.com/v/drag-and-drop/camera)** > > With the camera component, you can open up your phone’s camera to take a picture. ---

i believe @tarqgaur.thunkableil wants the app itself to - at a certain time (or times) of the day - take a picture, ie. (“press the camera’s shutter button”) without any human intervention. ---
