I'm using Samsung Galaxy F41. It has 3 camera's, main, wide angle and depth(macro). I can see options or buttons to use main and wide angle camera but for depth camera, there is no button. Can any other user confirm the same or please let me from where I can open the depth(macro) camera.

What do you want to do with the depth camera?
It's there for portrait shots. Basically, it's a gimmick.
F41 does not have a macro camera.

Oh Ok, I thought I can switch to depth camera same way, we switch to wide angle.

No bro, depth camera is not macro camera. It has only function and it's to help the main camera in better edge detection while taking a portrait shot(blurred background).

No ... Depth camera is not micro camera
.
Depth camera is "USED" by Main camera when you take any kind of portrait shot. It's purpose is to roughly estimate depth (distance between objects in the field of view) and is used to create a Bokeh effect (soften the background)
.
Expensive devices have TOF sensor (more accurate depth sensor, has better focus) instead of this Tradition 2D depth sensor...
