How to use iPhone camera tools to set up your shot

by Emily Long

Before taking a photo, you can use the camera tools on your iPhone to customize and improve your shot.

Flash and Live Photo sit above the camera frame for quick access, and you can add or edit the tools there, too. You can also manually adjust focus and exposure, track a moving subject, and lock the exposure setting.

Here’s how to use iPhone camera tools to set up your shot.

Customize the camera tools

For quick access, the Flash and Live Photo tools sit above the camera frame. Add or edit the tools that show up there, and the ones you use most are always available.

Camera is open in Photo mode. At the bottom of the screen are buttons for the following camera controls: Flash, Depth, Live, Timer, Exposure, and Styles.

  1. Open Camera on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the Camera Controls button, then tap Edit to reveal the tools.
  3. Tap a tool in the menu to add it above the camera frame, or tap the Minus button next to a tool above the camera frame to remove it.

Quick tip: Tap Reset to Essentials to return to the default tools.

  1. Tap Done, then swipe down on the tool menu to close it.

Manually adjust focus and exposure

Before you take a photo, the iPhone camera automatically sets the focus and exposure, and face detection balances the exposure across many faces. If you want to manually adjust the focus and exposure, do the following:

  1. Open Camera on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the screen where you want to move the focus area.
  3. Next to the focus area, drag the Adjust Exposure button up or down to adjust the exposure.

Camera is open in Photo mode. In the viewfinder, focus is locked on a subject and a slider to adjust the brightness level is next to the subject.

Quick tip: Touch and hold the focus area until AE/AF Lock appears to lock your manual focus and exposure settings for upcoming shots. Tap the screen to undo it.

On supported models, lightly double-press the Camera Control to open an overlay that shows the available camera settings. Slide your finger on the Camera Control to the Exposure setting, then lightly press to select it. Slide your finger to adjust the exposure.

Manually adjust focus on iPhone 18 Pro models

iPhone 18 Pro models let you manually adjust the focus to a specific point, and you can even lock which camera is used.

    • Tap the Camera Controls button, then tap Focus.
    • Optionally, add the Focus control to the camera tools above the camera frame, then tap it.
  3. If you want to use a specific camera, tap Ultra Wide, Main, or Telephoto.

    The camera you choose stays selected for your next shots.

  4. Drag the slider to set the focus distance.
  5. Areas that are in focus are outlined.

    To return to automatic focus, tap A.

Track a moving subject

The camera on iPhone 18 Pro models can keep a moving subject in focus, tracking it even as the distance to the subject changes.

  1. Open Camera on your iPhone.
  2. Tap a subject to show a yellow frame around it.
  3. Double-tap the frame to start tracking.

The frame follows the subject as it moves.

Quick tip: Tap the Undo button to reset the exposure.

  1. Tap the Back button and swipe down on the camera tools menu to close it.

Turn the flash on or off

Your iPhone camera is set to automatically use the flash when needed. To manually control the flash before you take a photo, tap the Flash control above the camera frame to switch between Auto, On, or Off. Or, do the following:

  1. Open Camera on your iPhone.

How to share locations with family members and locate their lost devices on iPhone

by Tyler Stephen

With Family Sharing, you can share your location with members of your Family Sharing group and help them find lost devices.

When the family organizer sets up location sharing, the organizer’s location is automatically shared with everyone in the family, including new members added later. Each family member decides whether to share their location, and you can stop sharing with anyone at any time. You can even get notified if a child leaves school during school hours. You can also ask a family member to share an AirTag with you.

The Find My app showing locations of family members on a map.

Share your location with family members

When you share locations with your family, your location shows up for them in Find My. You can also get notified when family members’ locations change, say, if a child leaves school during school hours.

  1. Open Settings, tap Family, and then tap Location Sharing.
  2. Turn on Location Sharing for the family member you want to share your location with.

    You can repeat this step for each family member you want to share your location with. Each family member receives a message that you’re sharing your location and can choose to share their location with you.

    You can stop sharing your location with any family member at any time.

  3. If you want to share your location with new members that join later, turn on Automatically Share Location.

    When Automatically Share Location is turned on for a child, only parents and guardians in the family group can see the child’s location, including parents and guardians that are added to the group later.

Note: Children and teens with Screen Time turned on may not be able to change their own location sharing settings.

To share your location, you must have Location Services turned on in Settings > Privacy & Security.

Locate a family member’s device

After members of your Family Sharing group have your location, they can help track down a missing device that’s been added to the Find My app.

Your devices sit at the top of the list, with your family members’ devices below them.

Ask a family member to share an AirTag with you

If you receive a notification in the Find My app that says AirTag Detected Near You or Unknown AirTag, you can ask the family member who owns it to share the AirTag with you.

  1. In the notification, tap Ask Owner to Share AirTag.
  2. Tap Ask Owner.

How to change FaceTime audio settings on iPhone

by Chris Smith

Spatial Audio in the FaceTime app makes it sound like your friends are in the room with you. Their voices are spread out and sound like they’re coming from the direction in which each person is positioned on the screen.

How to set up and use RTT and TTY on iPhone

by Emily Long

If you have hearing or speech difficulties, you can communicate by telephone on iPhone using Teletype (TTY) or real-time text (RTT), protocols that transmit text as you type and allow the recipient to read the message right away. RTT is the more advanced protocol that transmits audio as you type text.

You don’t need extra equipment. Software RTT and TTY are built right into the Phone app, and the RTT protocol is used by default whenever your carrier supports it. iPhone also supports Hardware TTY, so you can even connect iPhone to an external TTY device with the iPhone TTY Adapter, sold separately in many regions.

Important: RTT and TTY aren’t supported by all carriers or in all countries or regions. RTT and TTY functionality depends on your carrier and network environment. When making an emergency call in the U.S., iPhone sends special characters or tones to alert the operator. The operator’s ability to receive or respond to these tones can vary depending on your location. Apple doesn’t guarantee that the operator will be able to receive or respond to an RTT or TTY call.

Set up RTT and TTY

  1. Open Settings, tap Accessibility, and then tap RTT/TTY.

    Note: Depending on your carrier, you might see RTT, TTY, or RTT/TTY.

  2. Turn on Software RTT and then do any of the following:

    • If your iPhone has Dual SIM, choose a line.
    • Tap Relay Number, then enter the phone number to use for relay calls using Software RTT.
    • Turn on Send Immediately to send each character as you type. Turn it off to complete messages before sending.
    • Turn on Answer All Calls as RTT/TTY.
  3. If you want to answer and make TTY calls from an external TTY device instead of from your iPhone, turn on Hardware TTY.

When RTT or TTY is turned on, you’ll see the TTY icon in the status bar at the top of the screen.

Connect iPhone to an external TTY device

If you turned on Hardware TTY in Settings > Accessibility > RTT/TTY, connect your iPhone to your TTY device using a compatible third-party TTY adapter. If Software TTY is also turned on, incoming calls default to Hardware TTY. For information about using a particular TTY device, see the documentation that came with it.

Start an RTT or TTY call

  1. Open the Phone app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Contacts, then choose a contact.
  3. Tap Call and then choose RTT/TTY Call or RTT/TTY Relay Call.
  4. Wait for the call to connect and then tap the RTT button.

Whenever the carrier supports it, iPhone defaults to the RTT protocol.

If you haven’t turned RTT on and you receive an incoming RTT call, tap the RTT button to answer the call with RTT.

Type text during an RTT or TTY call

  1. When you accept or start an RTT or TTY call, tap Use RTT. Tap the RTT button.
  2. Enter your message in the text field.

If you turned on Send Immediately in Settings, your recipient sees each character as you type. Otherwise, tap the Send button to send the message.

  1. To also transmit audio, tap the Microphone Off Muted button in the top-right corner.

Note: Continuity features aren’t available for RTT and TTY support. Standard voice call rates apply for both Software RTT/TTY and Hardware TTY calls.
