How to Use Apple Watch Camera App

There is a camera app on the Apple Watch designed to work as a remote control for the camera app on your phone. The Apple Watch itself doesn’t have a built-in camera.

If you launch the Apple Watch camera app, it launches and activates the camera app on the phone. You can control a few things with the remote app on the Apple Watch.

You can take a picture or set a time. You also have a lot of options in the menu for turning on flash and changing the camera from front-facing to a selfie camera.
