Use Camera Remote and timer on Apple Watch
If you want to position your iPhone for a photo and then take the photo from a distance, you can use your Apple Watch to view the iPhone camera image and take the photo. You can also use your Apple Watch to set a shutter timer—this gives you time to lower your wrist and raise your eyes when you’re in the shot.
To function as a camera remote, your Apple Watch needs to be within normal Bluetooth range of your iPhone (about 33 feet or 10 meters).
Ask Siri. Say something like: “Take a picture.”
Take a photo
- Open the Camera Remote app on your Apple Watch.
- Position your iPhone to frame the shot using your Apple Watch as a viewfinder.
- To zoom, turn the Digital Crown.
- To adjust exposure, tap the key area of the shot in the preview on your Apple Watch.
- To take the shot, tap the Shutter button.
The photo is captured in Photos on your iPhone, but you can review it on your Apple Watch.
Review your shots
Use the following actions to review your shots on your Apple Watch.
- View a photo: Tap the thumbnail in the bottom left.
- See other photos: Swipe left or right.
- Zoom: Turn the Digital Crown.
- Pan: Drag on a zoomed photo.
- Fill the screen: Double-tap the photo.
- Show or hide the Close button and the shot count: Tap the screen.
When you’re finished, tap Close.
Choose a different camera and adjust settings
- Open the Camera Remote app on your Apple Watch.
- Tap , then choose from among these options:
- Timer (3-second timer on or off)
- Camera (front or rear)
- Flash (auto, on, or off)
- Live Photo (auto, on, or off) To see which devices support Live Photos, see the iPhone User Guide.
- HDR (on or off)
