iOS 26 has introduced a new Camera Remote feature for AirPods, enabling users to control their iPhone's Camera app without needing to physically reach for their device. This feature can be found in the AirPods settings under a section labeled 'Camera Control'. Users can enable it by selecting either 'Press Once' or 'Press and Hold' as their preferred gesture. Once activated, users can take photos, start, and stop video recordings directly through their AirPods. However, it’s important to note that this feature is only available for AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 4, and AirPods Max 2. When using the Camera Remote, typical media control and Siri functionalities will be temporarily disabled, allowing for a seamless photography experience. This update enhances the versatility of AirPods, making them a useful tool for capturing moments without needing to handle the iPhone directly.
