Four Ways An iPhone Can Take A Hands-Free Photo

screenrant.com:

The iPhone has at least four ways to take a hands-free photo using Apple's built-in Camera app. That means group selfies with the rear camera are possible and any concern about dropping an iPhone when trying to snap a picture while wearing gloves can be eliminated. Taking more and better photos usually result in catching unique moments, so it's worth exploring the possibilities to go hands-free and get more in the picture.

There are plenty of specialized camera apps in Apple's App Store that expand what is possible with an iPhone and the results can be quite interesting. However, the solid and dependable quality of photos and ease of use that comes with using Apple's Camera app means that it's the choice for most users time and again. It's available right from the Lock Screen and handles nearly every need, even offering several hands-free options.

The most obvious way to take a hands-free photo is by using the self-timer built into Apple's Camera app and it works in Portrait mode as well as the standard Photo mode. To use the self-timer, swipe up to reveal the camera controls at the bottom. The self-timer icon looks a bit like a clock face. If that option isn't visible, dragging the controls to the left will show more. Tapping the self-timer icon gives the option for a three-second or 10-second timer that starts when the shutter button is pressed. It's also quite handy to ask Siri to 'take a picture' or 'take a selfie.' The shutter button still needs to be pressed but the Camera app is opened and switched to the front or rear camera. With some extra setup, Apple's Voice Control can actually press the shutter as well.
