I use Sensory Voiceselfie on my Android and can't fault it, very easy to use. Probably not as much functionality as some others but for ease of self takes its brilliant for me

If it's an iPhone - accessibility voice control is so bloody simple and no app required , set up for numbers then just say the number to shoot I discovered it in here after using various apps and find it brilliant.

I just take a video and then use the app "Frame Grab" to select the best frame.

On an iPhone, go into Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control and turn it on. Open camera app and say 'Turn volume up'.
Just remember to turn it off when not needed.

You can also record a custom command to take single or multiple shots and give it the command word of choice.
I use "snap" to take single pics and "shoot" to take multiple pics, a few seconds apart, saves you keep saying the word or phrase.
In settings - voice control - commands - custom - create new command
You give the command a word then record the custom gesture by simulating pressing the take photo button on the screen.

Another for Photo Timer +
Anyone have a Google pixel? And can recommend a self take app, struggling to use anything built into the phone. Tia

They run on Android so Sensory Voiceselfie should work. Been great on my Samsung for the last 3 years, so much so I've stopped taking a camera with me

It's not available for Android 16 on the play store.
I've been looking for an app myself, as Google Assistant is a bit hit & miss. Especially when the geese are kicking off or the wind is blowing etc.
I'm going to try out Len's Buddy as suggested.
..I nearly got the chance to take it for a spin this morning, however, after setting my phone up on a mini tripod & positioned to perfection, someone walked over & offered to take the photo for me..

Yep I have Pixel 9, just started using the open camera app.
Really good, can set to run as an intervalometer so photo every x seconds for as many times as you want. It's perfect and saves messing around shouting at your phone to take a photo

You can just use voice commands . Just say "Hey Google take a photo" & it will take one.

Tried and tried but could never work out how to do it, do you need to download the pixel camera app? No idea where I'm going wrong

Ah, maybe turning it on within the Google app may help 😃

You can get a little Bluetooth remote for a couple of quid, just use your camera as normal without the need for an app

I found with the voice control it will only take 1 photo then have to go back to the phone to clear the Gemini box to then do another. Hence why I switched to the Open Camera app.

Exactly where i ended up tied a few different apps and then got the bluetooth remote for free with a phone holder...... never looked back and the little watch batteries last a lifetime on them

Do the Bluetooth remotes work to activate app that is open or just straight to standard camera?

Game changer!
Thanks for sharing.

in reply to my own question... i have a few apps with programable timer, usually you have to start the countdown timer by touching the phone, so the bluetooth trigger (starting the countdown without leaving the fish) sounded a good idea. I bought a cheapy one from amazon and have found that:
(on my android (google pixel)
Sensory voiceselfie app - doesnt work
Lens buddy - doesnt work
Open Camera - works well!

Mine works even if I don't have the camera open. I just have to put the phone on the tripod and hit the button and it takes the picture

I got 2 blu tooth rechargeable ones off amazon. (Vyviyon) brilliant little things..just open phones camera and click away..Work at a great distance and they don't even need to be aimed at your phone. Each will take 15000 photos
I use these. Attached to a circle of hi Viz acrylic via the suckers and operate using your foot.
