Camera remote



I have an Apple Watch Series 4 and an iPhone 12 Mini. I’m currently without Wi-Fi, and relying solely upon a cellular connection. I wanted to snap a photo (with me in it) using the Camera Remote on my watch, but all I see is a message telling me both devices need to be on the same network. As my watch (GPS only version) is connected to my phone via Bluetooth, what else is there to do?

Oopsie! Dolt that I apparently am, I had no idea that there's a "Camera Remote" (which was not on my phone - don't know why) and a "Remote"; two separate apps. I just kept looking at the directions, and even though they used the term 'camera remote I just assumed that was the new name, and Series 4 just had "Remote." That situation has been successfully rectified. You know what they say about when you assume...


Thanks for your help!
