The new iPhone series comes with a new button called Camera Control. It is available on all four models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The new button is located below the side key. Sorry, Apple doesn’t call it a button, but we can. By default, the button is set to quickly access the camera and its controls. However, not everyone like this function as the same controls are already available in the camera app which are much easier to use. So if you don’t use the camera control on your iPhone 16 much or the button triggers the camera when accidentally touched, you can either turn off the camera control or set it to open a different app that may be more useful.
Assign another App to open with Camera Control button
The camera control is a tactile switch with two different clicks. This means you can easily assign single click or double click to open another app. Here’s how you can assign another app to open with iPhone 16’s camera control. As of now, there are only three apps available to choose from. But we can expect support more apps in the future. If you are worried about accidental touches, you can select the double press instead of single press. This will prevent the button from accidentally triggering the app. To avoid accidental touches, you can also change the camera control settings in Accessibility. There you can choose a strength such as light or firm touch. So this is how to assign a different app to open with camera control button on iPhone 16. Do you like the new camera control?
