Hands-free ways to start recording
By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026
Short answerVoice Control, Back Tap, Switch Control, a Bluetooth shutter remote, an Apple Watch and the Camera app's timer can all reduce how much precise tapping you need.
- Voice Control: Settings › Accessibility › Voice Control lets you tap by speaking.
- Back Tap: tap the back of the phone to run an action.
- Switch Control: works with adaptive switches.
- Remotes: a large-button Bluetooth remote can act as the shutter in many apps.
Hands-free controls in Music Wide Selfie are planned for the Premium and Crown plans; core accessibility is in every plan.
