Subj : The iPhones Camera Control button is too fiddly, but this iOS 26 To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Thu Sep 11 2025 12:15:09 The iPhones Camera Control button is too fiddly, but this iOS 26 fix could make it more popular Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2025 11:12:12 +0000 Description: You can now disable the Camera Controls advanced features when setting up a new iPhone in iOS 26 and that could make it easier to use. FULL STORY ======================================================================Apple has adjusted its Camera Control button to make it easier to use You'll be able to disable advanced features faster than before in iOS 26 The change can be made during iPhone setup or inside the Settings app I love the Camera Control on my iPhone 16 Pro because it makes opening and using the camera quicker and easier than ever. But its definitely not perfect, and I still find its touch-sensitive controls a little fiddly at times. It seems that Im not the only one, as Apple has made a subtle change in iOS 26 that addresses this issue. According to 9to5Mac , youll now get a new option when setting up a fresh iPhone on iOS 26 that lets you disable the Camera Controls advanced features. This can be done using a simple toggle and means you dont have to go hunting through the Settings app to switch anything off. In practice, that means you can limit the Camera Control to simply opening the Camera app and snapping pictures, which is what many iPhone owners use it for. With its advanced features disabled, a light touch on the Camera Control will still elicit a bump of haptic feedback, but you wont see any of the options to adjust zoom level, exposure, depth, and more. A very quiet change (Image credit: Future) Interestingly, Apple didnt mention this change (or Camera Control itself) at all during its Awe Dropping event on September 9, and you wont see it detailed in any of Apples recent press releases announcing products from the show or the launch of iOS 26. That might be because the change could be seen as a tacit acknowledgment from Apple that it hasnt quite perfected the Camera Control, and that some people arent fully on board with it yet. I can see why that might be the case. When youre in the heat of the moment and want to capture a photo before its too late, trying to grapple with a touch-sensitive strip can be difficult, and there have been plenty of times when Ive accidentally switched camera lenses or changed a setting I didnt mean to. By disabling these advanced features, you dont need to worry about that kind of mishap. If you want to find this option outside the setup process for a new iPhone, youll need to open the Settings app and go to Camera > Camera Control, then disable the toggle next to Camera Adjustments. That way, the Camera Control will only be used to open your preferred camera app and start taking pictures, without any extra features being accessible.
