10 Uses For Your iPhone Camera Besides Taking Photos

[@johnstephenson8087]

Very helpful. I'm glad I found this while cleaning up unread emails.

[@suyinshares]

Thanks Gary! Just converted from Android to iPhone - you are the Go-to-Guy :) Praise God for your videos.

[@alexbishop5870]

Great video, thanks! My local supermarket lets me scan the barcode on all the items that I want to buy and adds up the total before I get to the checkout, and I just pay through the app or at special checkout and off I go. No queueing up and better, still no unpacking the groceries at the checkout, and then re-packing them afterwards! Best use of the camera ever!

[@labradormcgraw]

Very informative. I never knew about that "magnifying glass" feature. Thank you.

[@MattyPS]

I'm not sure if you were already doing that before or not but I just noticed the chapters in the description, thanks for adding those!

[@loisskiathitis8926]

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! I certainly learned a lot today. Very interesting! Thank you, Gary!👏🏻❤️

[@howardlevinger4571]

Thank you Gary. Once again, I discovered about six new things I can do with the camera without ever even talking a picture. Super useful, very practical!

Excellent instructional video for everyday use of iPhone

[@Nogi-aka-DJNugz]

Incredible video on all of the uses of the iPhone camera!

[@macbitz]

Just when you think you know it all, along comes Gary and tells you new stuff 👍🏼

[@Joe-lb8qn]

fantastic so much here i wasnt aware of.Thanks

[@SteveBarajas]

Wow i need to use the measure app

[@javtimestwo]

Thanks for this fun video. Most of this was review but I wanted to comment on the measurement feature. I recently used that when I realized I had to measure and object. Using my iPhone was so easy with the app.

[@cjc363636]

Gary, thanks again for a very informative video. My only issue.... Is to actually remember these exist a few months from now when I need one. I'll practice with them, and hopefully that'll help!

[@milesparadise5598]

wow I didn't know you could do any of this

[@sandyg5653]

What iPhone are you using? I'm looking for a new one and not sure which one will be best for me. This is definitely interesting to me.

[@catnapper3923]

Long ago, I was zooming in on annoyingly small print - directions for use on product cans and so forth. These are so useful, many thanks. I am absolutely charmed at being able to scan a GOOD COPY now. Some of the older apps also scanned, but weren’t as easy as it is this way. There is no excuse for sending a terrible jpg of a document now, when you can send a multi-page, high reso, neat pdf instead. I learned this trick from your previous video. Thanks a million.

[@believeinpeace]

Very interesting. Thank you

[@mariekirkland5862]

Gary, thank you so much! These tups are fun and very helpful!

Thanks Gary 🏆

[@PaulBeiser]

Thanks Gary! Learned a few new tricks here, I always learn so much from your videos!

[@mariochahin2029]

can you do tutorial how to move photo gallery from mac to iphone

[@macmost]

Photo "gallery?" Do you mean your Photo's app library? If you use iCloud Photos on both devices you'll see the same library in both places.

[@joecamel8182]

Dam I wish I could be as intelligent as you with the I phones. Not getting is much as I should with my new iPhone to. Thanks your videos are so informative.

[@desertpatient]

Thanks bunched

[@danielpatterson5225]

Thanks so much, always learn something from you.

[@TheRasta25]

im so happy ...you in Denver !!! hope i see you sometime

[@mehmd1913]

How accurate is the measure app?

[@Curlew-Corner]

Super, thanks Gary. I learn something every day from you videos. I’m buying an iPhone 13 Pro and really looking forward to using iOS 16. Greetings from 🇬🇧

[@carrietresoor3198]

☺ It would be helpful if you told or wrote for which iOS system you’re making the video. I have a iPhone 7 Plus with the latest update 15.5. And I am Dutch, so my iOS language is Dutch. I don’t see the little square symbol on the right in my camera view. Or did I miss it? But you have a lot of other helpful hints and tricks for me. Thanks a lot, Gary!

[@macmost]

The Camera app is highly dependent on which cameras you have (which model of iPhone) and which version of iOS. There are many variations. iPhone 7 is definitely an "older" model at this point and iOS 15 has been replaced with iOS 16 (but your iPhone is too old for it). So you won't see all of the features.

[@viktorija.u]

@@macmost my iOS is 16.0.3 (iPhone X) but I still cannot see that little square symbol on the right, any advices?

[@macmost]

@@viktorija.u I think iPhone X is too old for it.

[@Qbikowski]

is there any way to set image size of already scanned document?

[@macmost]

You'd need to bring it into an app and resize it, assuming it is an image not a PDF.

[@utnietje]

I liked this very much, and some I didn’t know. Thanks!

[@priscilagonzaga]

Thanks for the video! I'd like to use the macbook to take pictures in the iPhone without having to touch the phone - do you know if there is a simple way to do it? In a way that I can see in the macbook's screen what the iphone camera sees and click to shoot from the keyboard?

[@macmost]

Maybe this? support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-iphone-as-a-webcam-mchl77879b8a/mac

[@priscilagonzaga]

​@@macmost t I tried this using Photo Booth app, but it doesn't allow to really control the phone camera.. It indeed allowed to shoot without touching the phone, but I wasn't able to zoom or anything else, and the pictures seem to come with lower resolution and quality than it would be possible otherwise. I guess the best way is to use an remote, like you showed in another video, and maybe mirror the screen while doing this.

[@macmost]

@@priscilagonzaga Would help if I knew what you were really trying to do. What's your GOAL here? What are you doing and WHY do you need to take photos with the iPhone from your Mac?

[@priscilagonzaga]

@@macmost I take photos from books (mostly for my portfolio) and sometimes do small stop motion projects. I don't have a professional camera. So it is basically a fixed position, the phone mounted in a stand and I need to flip the pages and shoot checking if focus and light are still ok.

[@priscilagonzaga]

thank you so much for taking time to think about it, @@macmost :)

[@tonymeadows100]

*Stunningly* Informative video at so many levels. So much data in such a short time I had to watch over several times. Pls keep up the good work 😅

[@jasonm7634]

Very useful!

[@carolinebarlow4795]

Thanks, Gary, for a very interesting video. Some great tips indeed!

[@THR5335]

On which iphone are all these features supported? My iphone 8+ with iOS 16 doesn't have them all. Thank you.

[@macmost]

The 8 is pretty old at this point, so if you try it and it doesn't work you know why. Apple lists what works and what doesn't on their feature pages in the footnotes.

[@THR5335]

@@macmost thank you, Gary!

[@quiltsick]

fun as always Gary!

[@clararichardson3558]

More useful reason to use my phone!!

[@modernliberiaTV]

Hello Gary, I need your help and that is could you please make a video on how to link products in your KZbin video. I have my KZbin channel, I want to start doing fashion( clothes) videos but I don’t know how to link these clothes link in the description for people to click and go straight to the item I am talking about please help thank you.

[@macmost]

Not sure what you are asking here. If you want a link in your description, just add the link.

[@modernliberiaTV]

@@macmost ok thanks

[@pedropuckerstein4670]

There is a bug with reminders, I have shown it to Apple support and they logged it. Its been around for some time. Use case: create reminders on MAC (e.g. Monterey) and add image from connected iPhone. iPhone takes picture, but it doesn't show up in the reminder. A scan using iPhone will sort of show up. Of course use case of reminders on iPhone, scan a picture, does work. This is annoying, because I use reminders, edited/created on MAC for a shopping list and I like to add pictures of items using iPhone, this way when my wife shops, she can see pictures of items on shared reminder list.

[@carstenpxi]

Your cool trick for scanning in notes…I discovered I could extend it, by noting the I can delete or re-order the individual scans using the miniatures at the bottom of the screen. The Share as PDF to an email, iMessage, Dropbox or Files location etc. T h a n k s! Also the scan function, is good at reducing wrinkles from crumbled papers.

[@johng9393]

how do i turn OFF. the “info” dialogue box that uninvited, shows up on every pic when you move from one pic to another? Its very annoyimg

Be very careful with QR codes from ads in newspapers or magazine. Many of them are not vetted by the publishing entity and may lead you to malicious sites. Be sure to look at the URL and verify that it goes where you might want to go.

Re: Visual Lookup I just found out yesterday I can find out the breed of cats (any animal).

[@Nancy-tr5fi]

Too bad iphone13 is miserable to make or receive calls, otherwise known as function of a phone, it won’t ring. I missed all calls for 3 months. Camera ok, But does anyone care or use the newer iPhones as PHONES? I thought I was buying a ultra expensive PHONE. I do not need all their useless features.

[@anthonye1516]

That’s extremely helpful! Thank you.
