How to Remotely Control Your iPhone Camera With or Without an Apple Watch

Yep, I'm puzzled by Siri's delay. Even if I say "set a 10 minute timer" there's a delay. Does Siri need to access Apple's servers for EVERY request? I wonder. 😵

Like I said earlier, Siri just plain sucks. Apple needs to steal whoever is in charge of Google's voice command team from Google and hire them for their Siri feature (if you actually want to call it that).

Useful tips esp. for the voice control trick.
Anyway I just use the camera remote app on my Apple Watch. It’s one of the most handy and underrated feature of the Watch.

I wonder what the toll on battery would be for the voice control switch remaining to on.

Also, they do things like the AW remote app for us to buy the watch, simple as that.

Without voice control,
I cannot use "say cheese" when the phone is locked, so if it locks while I have it positioned, there goes that, need to come over to the phone again.
I cannot use it even when I am in the camera app trying to take a picture, Siri just won't listen to me (wake up)

The only way I can use "say cheese" is when I have it unlocked in my hands, without having a preview of what I am going to shoot, and I never even see what I have shot with it!!

You can shoot using the button on the earpods, but not on the airpods? especially when they can know that they are out of your ears, and the camera app is on...

I have a 5 series watch and I do not see the photo preview on the watch. Is there a way to get it on there?
