I seem to have two lenses for my cell phone camera. How does it decide
which one to use?

I also have the Tootsie Roll Syndrome. I put the phone in my pocket
whith a mini-Tootlsie Roll and it go all over the corner of the phone,
the corner with the lenses. I looked at the Tootsie Roll FAQ and it
doesn't say how to clean a cell phone lens. Do you have suggestsions.

Depends on your camera app. In Open Camera, use the camera with the +
superimposed icon, in the bottom right corner of this screenshot:

In the top left, superimposed on image is time of day and then ID:2
indicating that this is camera #2. On my phone, camera #0 is the main
back camera, camera #1 is the main front camera, #2 is the wide angle
back camera, #3 is the (useless) black and white camera, and #4 is the
macro camera.

Spent ten hours Googling for you and have a solution:

Put phone and Tootsie Rolls in different pocket.

Glad I could help.

Aha. I looked on the built-in app and I don't see anything like that.
I got up close to the subject to make it switch to macro. I don't really
know if it did but I don't see any place were 0- or 1-type things are
indicated.
