iOS 27 brings another very welcome improvement to Camera Control on iPhone
9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- In iOS 27, Apple replaces the previous Visual Intelligence feature in Camera Control with a new Siri AI-powered Siri mode, integrating it as a shooting mode within the Camera app rather than a separate, resource-heavy interface.
- This change resolves the frustrating issue in iOS 18 and 26 where long-pressing Camera Control would launch Visual Intelligence, often hijacking the camera launch and complicating quick photo-taking.
- Users can now easily switch between Siri mode and photo mode by swiping within the Camera app, simplifying the experience and enhancing usability.
- The update reflects Apple's move toward simplicity in Camera Control, focusing on its primary function as a photography app launcher rather than a multifunctional tool.
- iOS 27, currently in developer beta, introduces this improved Camera Control experience as part of the broader Siri AI enhancements.
