Research direction
The payload names no source files, so start by searching the Kotlin sources for where pinch-to-zoom changes the camera's zoom ratio. The thread has nine comments that the payload does not include, so read them first to check whether the numeric label or dial design was already settled. Done means a small overlay shows the current zoom (such as 2.0x) while zooming and fades after about a second of inactivity.

Feature description
Currently, Fossify Camera does not display the zoom level when zooming in or out. I suggest adding a small overlay (e.g., numerical display or dial) that briefly shows the zoom level (e.g., 1.0x, 2.0x, 3.0x, etc.) while adjusting and then fades away. This would improve precision when composing shots.
Why do you want this feature?
Without a zoom level indicator, it’s difficult to know exactly how much you've zoomed in, leading to inconsistent framing. This is especially important for capturing distant objects or ensuring a specific composition. Many other camera apps include this feature, making zooming more intuitive and user-friendly.
Additional information
The overlay should be minimalistic and unobtrusive, maintaining the app’s clean UI.
Could be implemented as a small floating text or dial that disappears after a second of inactivity.
This enhancement would greatly improve usability without altering the core functionality of the app.
