Apple Watch Digital Crown Works as Remote Shutter for Camera Apps Using Music Glance

One-handed operation

Would be nice to have a feature that clicked the shutter if you shook your hand in a particular way, e.g., rotate your wrist three times (and give an audible beep to indicate the camera had been triggered). That way your wrist can be behind you in a group picture if you're in the front row, if you're carrying a child or otherwise can't use both hands.

Very neat. Let me try this on my Apple Watch...oh wait, it's still processing since 4/10.

The road you travel is a hard one, filled with many challenges. Be diligent, friend. One day you will overcome.

If you turn off wrist detection then you can clasp your watch in the palm of your hand and press the button.

I hope they reconsider and reimplement this "feature" in iOS 8.4 and later. This is AWESOME for Snapchat and other non-Apple camera apps.
