This wikiHow teaches you how to take a picture of yourself by controlling your iPhone's camera with your Apple Watch.
Steps
-
1Wake up your Apple Watch's display. Raise your Apple Watch wrist, or press one of the Apple Watch's buttons.
-
2Press the Power button. It's below the Digital Crown dial on the side of your Apple Watch. Doing so opens a list of currently open apps.
-
3Tap All Apps. This option is at the bottom of the screen.
- You may have to scroll down through currently open apps to find this option.
-
4Open the Camera app. Tap the Camera app icon, which resembles a black camera outline on a grey background.
-
5Make sure that your iPhone is using its main camera. If the lower-quality front-facing camera is in use, force-press your Apple Watch's screen, tap Flip, and then press the Digital Crown.
-
6Point your iPhone's camera at yourself. Your iPhone's main camera should be facing you for your selfie.
- Since you'll need one free hand to take the picture itself, consider resting your iPhone against an object.
-
7Position yourself for your selfie. For example, you might strike a pose, or look directly into the camera.
-
8Tap the 3s button. It's in the bottom-right corner of the Apple Watch screen. Doing so will take a picture after three seconds and add the picture to your iPhone's Photos app.
- You can also tap the white "Capture" button that's at the bottom of the screen if you want to take a picture with no timer.
Warnings
- There will be some lag between what you see on your Apple Watch's screen and what's appearing on your iPhone's camera in real-time.Thanks!
