got brand new a cheap $18nzd free shipping android phone on black Friday last year running android go 8.1

only has a 5mp camera but it takes decent photos for the how low MP is also has a 2mp front camera and takes ok 720p video
im never going to use this as a phone but wanted to know if there was a way to have when i turn the phone it boots into the camera after android loads?

just want to use this as a camera when im just going to take random photos or video that is not very important or use it in places where i don't want to damage my $400 camera

Better to use that $400 camera instead of the phone!

Blanket statements DNA Martin P.    I carry my Pixel 3a (or my Pixel 2XL) everywhere - never make or receive calls.  I am not a suscriber to any cell provider.There are places/activities where cameras are not allowed or are very inconvenient.   I bought them both used on eBay.  A bargain compared to my Canon.

I just keep a camera icon in the favorites bar.
