Do you know your Cell phone Camera has a timer?

[xix]

I been seeing a lot of selfies where people look at the screen to see if they fit in the screen during a selfie. Why not use the count down timer and if you don't like the picture then remove it and try again.
I am sure these people take so many selfies and yet don't know how to operate the camera. What else don't they don't know about their cell phones?.

So to the poll...

i did in fact not know that huh, i don't really take many pictures but there have been a few instances where it definitely could have come in handy

I just have to wave at my phone screen when the camera is on to trigger the timer (Samsung S25).

Part of it I think is that unless you've got a stand it's easy to mess up the angle as you're fiddling with the settings. And also, staring straight ahead doesn't necessarily give the best angle unless you're aiming for mugshot/school photo vibe. So it depends what you're going for I guess.

Well I agree, I was mainly referring to the photo section we have here. Same applies to LL and others. I just think it sort of dated or old. Silly sometimes. I know a guy where the current gf sent him a photo and she didn't look at the screen, the photo to me said things .. "like I can handle you".

No, it's an android gestures feature, you can also use voice commands if you haven't disabled the built in spy device.
