Unlocking the iPhone Camera Control: AI, Magnifier, and App-Launch Hacks
The Camera Control button on newer iPhone models can launch third‑party apps (like Instagram or a QR scanner), open Magnifier for close readings, or activate Apple’s Visual Intelligence AI. In use, you can zoom, switch cameras, or quickly start/stop video by holding the button; Exposure adjustments and burst mode are also accessible. To customize, go to Settings > Camera > Camera Control to choose which app launches and which features are enabled. Note the feature isn’t available on the iPhone 16e.
