Any iPhone 16 model
The Camera Control is a new physical button with touch control capabilities that sits flush on the bottom right of the iPhone 16 frame. By default, it will launch the Camera app, act as a shutter button, and allow you to adjust various camera settings.
But did you know you may also customize it in a few different ways? You can! Here’s how.
How to change what the Camera Control does
With the Camera Control, the default setting is that a single click launches the Camera app, but you can change that if you wish. Here’s what you need to do:

How to adjust the Camera Control’s sensitivity
