With the iPhone 16 series, Apple has introduced a new Camera Control button. Designed to provide quick access to the Camera app, the button also helps switch between the camera app modes and click a picture like a mechanical shutter button. Although a novel addition to the iPhone 16 series, some people might not use the button as often. Such users can benefit from reassigning the button to doing something else.

Here’s How To Change What The Camera Control Button Does
By default, the Camera Control button opens up the Camera app on a single press, helps switch between the camera modes by applying some pressure and zooming in/out by sliding the finger on its surface. However, similar to customizing the Action Button, users can change what the Camera Control button does.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Go to Camera > Camera Control.
- Above the “Choose the app that will open when you click Camera Control,” select the required options. By default, you can select from Camera, Code Scanner, Instagram, Magnifier, Snapchat, and None.
- Once you select another app, pressing the Camera Control button will open that particular app instead of opening the Camera.
- You can also select whether you want to single-click or double-click the Camera Control button to open the desired app.

If you select Instagram, pressing the Camera Control button will open the social media app’s camera, allowing you to click a picture with the press of the button. However, if you select Snapchat, the button will only open the app; it won’t be able to click the picture (at least, that is how things are when we’re writing this article).
