Android 12 quietly added a feature to let users control their phones with smiles, eyebrow raises, and other face gestures.
While the Android 12 beta has been available for months, new features are being discovered all the time – like one that allows users to control their phone with their face. The feature, which was first noticed by Droid Life via Twitter user Hani Mohamed Bioud, adds the feature specifically to expand accessibility, though there’s nothing stopping other users who have downloaded the early version of Android 12 from trying it out. The feature, called Camera Switch, recognizes particular facial movements – from smiling to raising eyebrows to looking left, right, and up – which can be mapped to navigation options.
