I have used this below HTML code in my ionic app for the upload image, word, excel or pdf file.

<input #fileInput type=“file” (change)=“uploadAndProgress($event.target.files, fileInput);” />

In android it ask to select the file from file photo library as expected and no camera selection. But when I see in iOS device it asks me for three option from where I have to select the one to upload the image or file. I have attached the below screenshot.

Can anyone please help me out with the any solution that How can I remove the “Take Photo or Video” option? In Android this option is not coming.

You cant, thats how the OS works.

When using a Input type = file, all these 3 options are displayed. I understand that it cannot be disabled. But is there a possibility to identify which option was chosen to trigger the camera api when Take Photo is clicked.

currently i have the following code and it does not handle the TAKE PHOTO option

const selectFile = (event: any) => {
  attachmentFile.value = event.target.files[0];
  uploadAttachment();
};

const uploadAttachment = async () => {
  const file = attachmentFile.value;
  if (!file) return;
  const path = `${student_profile.value?.id}/${selectedType.value}-${file.name}`;
  const data = await uploadFileToStorage({ path: path, file: file });
  if (data) saveAttachmentMetaData(data.publicUrl);
};
