Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?
Take a photo and record a video shouldn't be separate buttons.

#### Why would you like to do it?
- All apps implement the camera as a single button, that's what most people are used to and what is easier.
- Choosing the wrong option requires you to go back, reopen the attach menu, and select the right option.

#### How would you like to achieve it?
The camera view should let you choose between "Photo" and "Video" by swapping left and right and by long-pressing. (Like Telegram and WhatsApp)
