Apple Watch Update Introduces Handy Camera Control Feature

The latest watchOS 11.2 update adds a pause button to the Camera Remote app for more versatile video recording.

Apple has recently rolled out software updates across all its devices, with iOS 18.2 taking the spotlight for its extensive new features tailored for iPhone users. However, a smaller yet practical update in the Apple Watch’s watchOS 11.2 software is also garnering attention, especially among users who leverage their Apple Watch to control their iPhone’s camera.

For the first time, the Camera Remote app on the Apple Watch introduces a pause button for video recording. This marks a significant enhancement to a feature that has long allowed users to remotely manage their iPhone cameras. The app, traditionally limited to acting as a shutter button and viewfinder for photo and video captures, now permits users to pause and resume video recordings without initiating a new session.

This update, while modest, addresses a niche yet impactful need for users who rely on their Apple Watch for remote photography and videography. The addition of the pause function offers greater flexibility and convenience, making the process of capturing moments smoother and more efficient.
