In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the steps to disable the Camera Control feature and prevent it from launching the Camera app on your iPhone 16.
The iPhone 16 series, which includes the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, comes equipped with a Camera Control button. This touch-sensitive button enables users to quickly launch the Camera app with a single or double press, allowing them to take photos without touching the screen. Additionally, users can use the Camera Control button to adjust camera settings before taking a shot.
While Camera Control is designed to enhance convenience, some users may find it frustrating due to accidental presses that trigger the Camera app.
Fortunately, there’s an easy way to stop this from happening. Here’s how you can prevent the Camera Control button from launching the Camera app.
Disable Camera Control on iPhone 16
- Launch the Settings app and go to Camera.
- On the Camera page tap on the Camera Control option.
- On the next screen choose the ‘None‘ option.
By selecting the ‘None’ option you can prevent the iPhone from launching Camera app whenever the Camera Control button is pressed.
Double-click to launch Camera app
If you still want to use the Camera Control to launch Camera app but want to prevent accidental launches of the app, then you can also select the Double Click option.
When this option is selected iPhone 16 will only launch the Camera app when the Camera Control button is pressed twice.
Conclusion
Disabling the Camera Control button’s default behavior can make your iPhone experience smoother, especially if you often trigger the Camera app unintentionally.
